More information:
This is a ‘hands-on’ seminar in which you will hold two short presentations after in-depth discussions on presentation best-practice. Through this process you will learn to present confidently and competently not only in terms of the language used, but also in respect to body language and voice/intonation. Within a friendly and constructive environment, we will use recordings and constructive feedback from student peers and the course tutor in order to guide you towards all-round better presentations.

Enrollment requirements:

Proof of appropriate language level (minimum B2 for B2 courses, C1 for C1 courses), not older than three years.

This can be achieved by:

Taking our online placement test (link)

Submitting a language certificate from a course at the appropriate level (see website for accepted certificates).

Sending us a copy of the Transcript of Records from STiNE showing completion of a course at the appropriate level.

After sending us the required documents you can then go ahead and register for the respective course(s).

Registrations without proof of the appropriate placement test or certificate will be cancelled.

N.B. If you have already had your level assessed by us in the last three years or have already presented us with a certificate then you do not need to prove your level again.
