This course was originally designed for Parliamentary Researchers and Special Advisors who were keen to improve their speech writing capability. Since 2006, we has been the premier provider of speech writing courses for politicians and their staff.
We were one of the first UK based training providers to offer focused specialist training in speech writing for elected politicians and their staff based in Westminster and the Scottish Parliament.
Over time we have developed the course further to reflect the needs of high-level professionals working in corporate environments who need to write effective speeches for senior management to help promote specific messages to shareholders, the media and policy decision maker audiences across government, parliament and the civil service.
The course also translates well for overseas delegates and has also attracted interest from senior executives and public affairs professionals, working for prestigious International Organisations such as the European Investment Bank, the International Council for Nursing, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and Deutsche Bank. So far this extensive experience has given us unique insights setting us apart from the competition.
