Community non-credit course

For several years, Continuing Education at Champlain College-Lennoxville has been providing quality training tailored to the needs of the workforce in the Eastern Townships. In addition to our courses, the College now offers many services to individuals and businesses.

Just as individuals must change to keep up to date, so must our services. Many of the course listings you will find are specific responses to past requests from the community we serve, and we encourage you to make suggestions for new offerings you would like to see.

Course Description

Improve your public speaking skills, to speak confidently (for all levels of platforms and groups). Participants will also learn how to develop and organize their ideas to prepare the support material to present. In addition, explore styles of interviewing and put them into practice as impromptu speaking.

  • Executives who need to lead teams and/or managers who want to better communicate with their departments.
