To whom it may concern
I am writing with reference to the Vaci Street Development Centre's 'SPEAK' Presentation Skills course, which four members of my company, Hoffman Research International, Budapest recently attended.
The course was 20 hours each and our company members -all managers, and needing to make presentations on a regular basis -went to V.S.D.C. once a week. The course addressed the problems of the logical structuring of a presentation, the forms of presentation, and especially concentrated on a student's style of and authority within a delivery.
The students were very fortunate to have as their teacher Alexis -someone who was not only an instructor but also an actor, which skills are obviously of great benefit when it comes to presenting to an 'audience' the findings from a market research project, being able to lend weight to convictions, to stress important points, etc. Alexis is very much to be recommended as a tutor within such a specialist field of teaching.
So, overall, this course was a great success. The most major improvements came with the increase of confidence that it was able to generate -for with a logical, 'watertight' presentation there inevitably comes the improvement in the presenter's speaking style and other communicative abilities, deriving from this built-up self-assurance, as well as a general sense of authority.
Hoffmann Research International -as a result of this -plans to send further employees to V.S.D.C.'s 'Speak' course in the new year.

Yours faithfully
Márta Hoffmann
