Education
The educational program is at the heart of our Club. It is the means by which you develop your skills and achieve your goal of becoming a better communicator.
On an informal level, every meeting offers you the chance to practise. But toastmasters also offers a formal educational programme, which is divided into two tracks - a communication track and a leadership track.
Both offer formal training in the form of various projects that you can carry out, and which allow you to learn through experimentation and experience.
Communication Track
The communication track is the major emphasis for all new members most of whom join Toastmasters for the benefits it offers. Some also become involved in the leadership track but they are not mutually exclusive.
The core of the communication track is the Communication and Leadership Program manual, which contains 10 speech projects that allow you to gradually build up your speaking abilities.
Leadership Track
The leadership track allows you to acquire and practise the skills necessary to be an effective leader. You can serve as a Club leader, developing skills in planning, training, motivating, and managing.
See the Competent Leadership manual for details.
