Note: the trainers for the individual session are chosen based on their strengths as speakers and may change. The trainers are speakers from the KeyNote Women directory.

In addition to the sessions the trainees are given an opportunity to practice their speaking at the learning circles and during individual work with mentors. We offer all our trainees the supportive community of their peers, trainees from the previous course cohorts, and seasoned speakers ready to share their experience. We encourage the atmosphere of camaraderie and open discussion.

Once the training programme is completed, there will be a final presentation where the trainees will be able to showcase their five minute speeches to a live audience. If the trainee has completed both level 1 and 2, they will have an opportunity for an audition and compete for the chance to be in the KeyNote Women Speakers Directory.

Q: Can I make a payment for the course in instalments?
A: Yes, you can. The program fee can be paid in two (2) instalments yet has to be covered in full not later than one week before the program start. The dates and amount of each payment are negotiable. Please, contact our training coordinator at info@keynotewomen.com for a personal instalment plan.

Q: I’m planning to travel/move, thus will miss a part of the course. Can I still sign up and be sure I get the maximum from the training?

For in-person, if it is a session you have missed we can send a previous session recording, but with the practice groups you will need to speak to the coordinator to see how we can arrange a catch-up practice session.

Q: Can I talk to someone who has already completed the program?
