Club Officer Training On Demand - New!

We appreciate that a lot of us have busy lives. On-demand club officer training has been provided as an option for your convenience. Attending live or in-person sessions always has the benefit of being able to meet other Toastmasters and share ideas, so if you can attend one of these sessions we would recommend you do so.

To access on-demand club officer training, you will need a Gmail account (if you don’t have one and want to have the opportunity to attend you will need to create one – it’s free to do so).

Please note that training includes activities that need to be completed. This is so we can track your progress, and mark off you as having completed this training. To have this training registered, it needs to be completed by August 24th 2025. If you have more than one club officer role, you only need to attend one of these sessions, but we would recommend signing up for all roles you are an officer for to get the full benefit.
