Frequently asked questions: 

• What about COVID?

We are working with the situation. The trainer will wear a mask for extended talking time. You, may or may not need to, depending on what the laws of the country are where the event takes place. If, because of COVID, border controls are reintroduced, group gatherings banned, or another related restriction making a physical class impossible, the course will take place virtually and you will receive a partial refund to compensate (30%)

• What      level should my presentation skills be to attend?

This class is unique that it’s a multi-level class. As a total beginner you can master the basics (i.e overcoming anxiety), or as an experienced presenter with new ideas (i.e. body language/vocal impact). As the classes are small (maximum 6-7 people), you can get individualized input from the trainer. 

• I am seriously nervous i.e. I over-prepare, lay awake at night worrying, and      afterwards know I could have done better. Can you help?

Yes, we can! Your situation is much more common than you think and in every group there is at least 1 or 2 people describing themselves this way.  

• I speak English well, but its not my first language, will it be a problem?

Not at all! Great presentations are about much more than the language. About 70% of our European attendees are non-native English speakers with English as their 2nd or 3rd language.  

• Do I have to prepare anything for the class? 

You will get more benefit if you come to the class with a situation in mind where you will have to speak to an audience in the future, and we use that scenario when developing and practicing your skills. If you have no such situation, then no preparation is necessary, just have a clear idea of your goals for the class. In either case, please inform us accordingly  

• Can you offer a discount for multiple tickets, i.e. if I am sending my team?

Yes, please inquire directly for more details. But if you are considering booking 4 places or more, think about a private in-company seminar instead. With 5 people, the investment is approximately the same and with 6 people or more, you can save considerably.  

Terms and conditions (The important stuff) Bookings are not final until payment or an official Purchase Order has been received. Payments can be done here at the time of registration by credit card, PayPal, or bank transfer. 

Open-enrollment seminars have a minimum required number of people to take place therefore bookings are non-refundable. If you cannot attend, someone else (i.e co-worker) instead as a substitute.   If, by 2 weeks before the event, a seminar fails to reach the minimum necessary participant count you will be contacted to decide 1) if you want a 100% immediate refund or 2) to reschedule to future event.     

If the event is cancelled from our side for any reason (i.e. trainer illness) you will receive an immediate refund.  If, because of COVID, border controls are reintroduced, group gatherings banned, or another related restriction making a physical class impossible, the course will take place virtually and you will receive a partial refund to compensate (30%).  

We reserve the right to change locations within the same general neighborhood. Please make sure we have your telephone number and best email address to keep you informed accordingly.
