Speechcraft is a short course which teaches participants the basics of public speaking in 8 weeks. No prior experience in public speaking is necessary.

The course is conducted in a friendly supportive environment. A professional camaraderie forms between course participants and presenters, which makes the learning process more enjoyable. There are normally about 10 participants in each course, who are taught by National Toastmasters members experienced in Public Speaking.

Each participant receives a Toastmasters Speechcraft Handbook which contains a number of speech projects to work through during the course. During the early stages of the course, presenters deliver educational sessions designed to help participants to improve their confidence speaking in front of others, communication skills, presentation skills and speech preparation skills. Speechcraft is a hands on course, meaning that course participants learn by doing. Participants deliver speeches nearly every week of the course, receiving positive feedback and evaluation.

Educationals cover such topics as how to prepare your speech, delivery techniques, and how to evaluate other speakers.The Speechcraft handbook provides valuable reference material for participants during and after completing the course. At the end of the course, you’ll "graduate", and receive a Toastmasters International Speechcraft Course Completion Certificate.

To receive further training at the completion of a course you can become a member of National Toastmasters club. National Speechcraft courses cost $200-$300 (costs may vary). Discounts may apply for early or multiple person registration.
