Courses

Toastmasters major product is delivered through club membership. You will get the most thorough learning by regular participation through attending regular club meetings. You may proceed at your own speed and receive the other benefits of membership. However, some people like to start with an intense short course prior to joining or simply do not have the time to join. In either case, a Speechcraft course is an option. For those who are too young to join a club or participate in a Speechcraft course, Toastmasters provides the Youth Leadership course. 
For upcoming Toastmasters events, please see District Calendar.

Speechcraft

Speechcraft courses are aimed at training and improving your public speaking skills in a short amount of time. A typical Speechcraft course runs for 4-8 sessions, is limited to around 8 participants, and is a crash course version of the Toastmasters educational programme.

While the course does not offer the full benefits of the Toastmasters programme, you will definitely sharpen your Public Speaking and Leadership skills with guidance from experienced Toastmasters. Many Speechcrafters join Toastmasters clubs on completion of the course to continue their Toastmasters journey.
