The London Guild of Toastmasters runs an annual training course for those aspiring candidates to the profession. The course, in the techniques, qualities and knowledge, is facilitated by a training professional and enjoys the wealth of experience from Past Presidents.
 
We hold an annual course for aspiring Toastmasters, the next of which is scheduled to take place in April/May 2008 at Chicheley Hall, near Milton Keynes.


The tutors are all experienced Toastmasters with different insights to the profession. Each session will be led by an expert in the field, usually a Past President of the London Guild with many years experience. The course finishes with a Core subject matter exam or quiz to enhance learning.
 
The training officer is Andy Bignold, who can be contacted on 020 8549 6586, mobile 07950 022400 or by e-mail at:

"My sincere thanks for producing such an authoritative and demanding seminar. It was first class and clearly had taken a huge amount of time and effort to prepare. I know just how much commitment these things demand. Well done"
 
"For my part I enjoyed every second of it. But that may have been apparent! The content, students, tutors, venue and method were simply outstanding"

"I felt I wanted to write and say a huge Thank you for the excellent Toastmasters Seminar this week. ... (I) came away feeling that I had taken part in a highly professional and enjoyable experience as the first step towards a new career. The location was, of course, absolutely superb but also very fitting in providing the right setting for the skills that we were developing. The combination of theory and practice was perfect and, for those of us who are inexperienced in the toastmastering world, it provided an opportunity to learn by mistakes without embarrassment"
