Public Speaking Courses in Singapore for Working Professionals

It depends on what you'd like to improve.

If you're looking to become a more confident, well-rounded speaker, Presentation Skills & Public Speaking is a good place to start.

If nerves are your biggest challenge, Beat Presentation Anxiety & Build Confidence focuses on helping you understand and manage them.

If you regularly present at work and want to make your presentations clearer, more structured and engaging, take a look at Engage Audience with Confident Business Presentations.

And if your work involves pitching ideas, persuading clients or gaining buy-in, Sales Training: Persuasion & Influence Mastery focuses on exactly that.

Still unsure? Drop us a message and tell us what you're hoping to improve. We'll help you figure out which course makes sense for you.

Our courses are designed for working adults in Singapore.

We train executives, managers, sales professionals, business owners, educators and anyone who wants to communicate more effectively at work.

From time to time, young adults join us too, including polytechnic, JC and university students. They learn alongside working professionals in the same class.

Some participants come because they've spent years avoiding presentations. Others speak in front of people regularly but feel there's room to improve.

Whatever your starting point, there's something you can work on. No previous public speaking experience is required.

Yes. Some of the best speakers we’ve worked with are introverts.

Being a good communicator has little to do with being the loudest person in the room. What matters is knowing what you want to say, organising your thoughts and expressing yourself so others can follow.

We're not here to turn you into an extrovert. We want to help you communicate confidently in a way that feels natural to you.

Many training providers run courses on everything from software to leadership. Speak Sell Succeed specialises in one area: public speaking and communication skills. Every course we run is built around helping you speak, present and persuade with confidence.

We believe you get better at speaking by speaking.

So our classes are mostly practice. You learn a technique, try it, get feedback and try again.

Every public course is also taught personally by Iwan Yang, so you'll be learning directly from the trainer whose experience and teaching approach you've read about.

We also don’t believe there’s only one way to be a good speaker.

Some people are naturally expressive. Others are quieter and more thoughtful. Both can be effective communicators.

For most Speak Sell Succeed courses, there are no prerequisites. You don’t need previous public speaking or presentation experience. Our courses are conducted in English, so you should be comfortable learning and participating in English.

Engage Audience with Confident Business Presentations is our WSQ course, so it has a few entry requirements.

You should:
· be 21 years old or above
· have completed secondary school or an equivalent qualification
· be comfortable using English at work, at approximately WPL Level 4, secondary education or GCE O-Level standard
· preferably have some working experience, although this is not compulsory

If you’re unsure whether you meet the requirements, just get in touch with us before registering and we’ll help you check.

Yes. You’ll speak and practise throughout the course, because that’s how you improve.

But that doesn't mean we'll put you on the spot before you're ready.

We know that standing in front of a room can feel intimidating, especially if it's something you've been avoiding. You're welcome to observe, settle in and participate at a pace you're comfortable with.

You'll often find that once you've watched a few others have a go, standing up yourself doesn't feel quite so daunting.

Our public classes typically have between 6 and 18 participants.

That’s enough people to feel like a real audience, and few enough for everyone to practise and get feedback.

You'll also get to learn from watching others, which can be just as valuable as taking your own turn.

Every Speak Sell Succeed public course is taught personally by Iwan Yang.

The trainer you read about on our website and see mentioned in our reviews is the same person you'll meet in class.

Iwan has more than ten years of speaking and training experience and has personally trained more than 3,000 people in effective communication, public speaking and presentation skills.

He brings that experience into the classroom, along with plenty of practical exercises, individual feedback and the occasional laugh.

Very little. Come ready to participate, practise and try things out.

Unless we've specifically asked you to, there's no need to prepare a speech or presentation beforehand.

We'll provide the course materials and send you any instructions you need before the class.

We'd also suggest wearing something comfortable. Our classes are interactive, so you may find yourself moving around more than you expected.

Our public courses are conducted in person in Singapore.

We've chosen this format because there's a lot about public speaking that you can only experience when you're in a room with other people.

Making eye contact, reading your audience, responding to their reactions and getting comfortable with people watching you are all part of the learning.

It also helps to practise alongside people who are working on the same things you are.

Our public courses are held at:

Skills Training Hub
250 Tanjong Pagar Road, #04-01
St Andrew’s Centre
Singapore 088541

We're approximately a six-minute walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT.

We'll send you the directions and classroom details before your course, so you'll know exactly where to go.

It depends on the course.

Presentation Skills & Public Speaking is 16 hours. You can take it over 2 days, 4 Saturdays or 8 evenings.

Engage Audience with Confident Business Presentations is also 16 hours, run over 2 days.

Beat Presentation Anxiety & Build Confidence and Sales Training: Persuasion & Influence Mastery are 8 hours each, run over 1 day.

This applies to Presentation Skills & Public Speaking. All three formats cover the same 16 hours of training. The main difference is how the learning is spread out.

Choose the 2-day workshop if you prefer an intensive format or want to complete the course quickly.

Choose the 4-Saturday format if weekends suit you better, or the 8-evening format if you prefer shorter sessions after work and more time to practise between classes.

There isn’t a “better” format. Choose the one that suits your schedule and the way you prefer to learn.

We understand that work and personal commitments sometimes get in the way.

If you know you'll be missing a session, let us know as early as possible. We'll see what arrangements can be made, depending on your course format and the availability of upcoming classes.

Do bear in mind that certain funding schemes and certificates have attendance requirements.

If you already know you have a scheduling conflict, it's best to speak to us before registering. We can help you find an intake that works better for you.

Yes.

Engage Audience with Confident Business Presentations is a WSQ course, so you'll receive a Statement of Attainment when you meet the course requirements.

For our other courses, you'll receive a digital Speak Sell Succeed Certificate of Completion when you meet the attendance requirement.

Fees depend on the course and how long it runs.

Eligible Singapore Citizens can use SkillsFuture Credit, and NTUC members can claim UTAP. Engage Audience with Confident Business Presentations can also qualify for SkillsFuture Singapore course fee funding.

Each course page shows the full fee and what you could pay after funding, so you'll know the cost before you register.

Yes. Our courses are listed on the SkillsFuture directory, and eligible Singapore Citizens aged 25 and above can use their SkillsFuture Credit towards the course fees.

Engage Audience with Confident Business Presentations is accredited under the Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) framework, so it can also qualify for SkillsFuture Singapore course fee funding, depending on your eligibility.

You'll find the applicable funding and fee breakdown on each course page, so you can see what you'll need to pay before registering.

No. SkillsFuture Mid-Career Credit, for Singaporeans aged 40 and above, cannot currently be used for any of our courses.

This is separate from your regular SkillsFuture Credit, which eligible Singapore Citizens can still use for our courses.

If you're unsure which credit you have available, you can check your balance and eligibility through the MySkillsFuture portal.

Yes. Eligible NTUC members can claim UTAP support for our courses.

Unlike SkillsFuture Credit, UTAP is claimed after you've completed your training.

NTUC has its own requirements for membership, attendance and annual claim limits. You can read how UTAP works on the NTUC website. To check your eligibility before you register, chat with NTUC's help centre.

Yes, we do.

We train teams who present to clients and management, pitch ideas or need to win support for their work.

We plan the training around the situations your team actually faces at work.

Corporate training can be conducted at your office or at our training venue in Tanjong Pagar.

Tell us a little about your team and what you're hoping to achieve, and we'll put together a proposal.

See how it works on our corporate public speaking and presentation training page.
