WIFI Wien – Kommunikation, Rhetorik & Präsentation

WIFI Wien (Wirtschaftsförderungsinstitut der Wirtschaftskammer Wien) offers a comprehensive range of professional training courses in communication, rhetoric, and presentation skills. Located at the WKO Campus in Vienna's 18th district, the programme covers topics including rhetorical techniques, presentation design, body language, voice training, argumentation, negotiation, and overcoming stage fright. Courses are delivered in small groups by experienced practitioner-trainers, with a strong emphasis on practical application and learning by doing — including video feedback. The flagship offering is the multi-module Rhetorik-Akademie diploma programme, alongside shorter compact seminars and day courses. All courses are designed to be taken alongside employment (berufsbegleitend).
