What
Programmes do we offer?
We
have two programs, or types of learning to offer.
1.
Communication
An
initial series of ten basic speeches. When these are successfully
completed you gain a Competent Toastmaster award (the 'CTM').
This helps members develop the basic skills to prepare & present
an effective speech.
After
completion of the first manual, you can start on the Advanced
speeches. There are a variety of manuals to chose from (each containing
five speeches), for example:
- The
Entertaining Speaker
- Speaking
to Inform
- Public
relations
- Humorously
Speaking
- Storytelling
- Technical
Presentations
-
Persuasive Speaking
-
The Professional Speaker, and more.
Each
manual helps further develop your skills. When two of these Advanced
manuals are completed, you get awarded an ATM (Advanced Toastmaster)
starting with Bronze (ATM-B), then Silver(ATM-S), then Gold (ATM-G).
2.
Leadership
Leadership
skills are learnt mostly from doing and being involved. With Toastmasters,
you are never short of leadership opportunities!
All
members participate in meetings. You gain all valuable leadership
experience through Chairing meetings, which involves organising
and leading members in the regular Wednesday morning meetings.
You
can also serve on the Club Committee in a variety of roles, up
to President. As our club is part of a wide community of Toastmasters
clubs, there are also opportunities to further develop your leadership
skills at a national level.
Toastmasters
have two leadership awards, Competent Leader (CL) for involvement
in club leadership, and Advanced Leader (AL) requiring involvement
at a national level.
