About this course
A presentation begins before the slides. Duncan Brodie’s course asks learners to define an outcome and understand the audience, then select and test the material needed to support that purpose.
The sequence develops preparation into rehearsal, managing nerves and delivering an opening, main message and close. Question handling and a live presentation example complete the progression, with attention to practice rather than simply collecting speaking tips.

- Selecting and testing presentation content
- Rehearsing delivery and voice
- Handling audience questions
The requirements are computer or mobile access, an internet connection and willingness to practice. Record a short rehearsal or try it with a willing listener if that is practical; the course includes those rehearsal approaches, but enrollment does not imply individual coaching.
PowerPoint is discussed as one possible barrier to effective presenting, not taught as a software package. You can work on message structure and delivery without purchasing presentation software. The most useful progression is to settle the purpose first, then refine the material and delivery together.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a PowerPoint design course?
No. The published lessons emphasize planning, rehearsal, delivery and questions rather than teaching slide-software features.
Does it cover presentation anxiety?
It includes lessons on nerves, breathing and warming up the voice. These are presentation-practice topics, not a substitute for clinical care.
