How Does This Compare To The 6-month Programme?
Our initial 6-month programme involved one 1-hour class each week. Over a 6-month period, that totals to 24 - 27 hours. With 4 hours each day over a 2-week period, the number of hours of coaching easily adds up to 40 hours, nearly twice as much! Hence, the 2-week intensive version of Public Speaking For Teens offers more hours of coaching and more value for money. Each attendee who attends all classes and completes all their assignments shall receive a Certificate of Completion.
