What CLC Graduates Had to Say After Taking Our Courses...
"The courses provided very useful tips, tricks and experiences that significantly improved my public speaking skills. Outside of public speaking, the courses helped improve my communications and listening skills."
Peter Bruce - CLC1 Graduate
"CLC has given me the confidence to speak. I now have the skills to organize my thoughts and speak to a group of people. Prior to taking the course, I couldn't even speak out at a staff meeting. This course increased my level of confidence and professionalism."
Linda Duchesne
Why you should take this course...
Why invest in a course when there are thousands of free speaking tips on the internet? Because there is no substitute for coached practice. You didn't learn to drive a car by watching YouTube videos.
