George Brown Polytechnic – Public Speaking and Presentation Skills

George Brown Polytechnic's Continuing Education course in Public Speaking and Presentation Skills takes a holistic approach to building confidence across various speaking contexts — from small groups to large audiences, individually and as a team. Students learn to deliver pitches and speeches effectively both in-person and online, and to craft impactful presentations using visual aids such as Microsoft PowerPoint and Canva. The course is part of the Communication and Languages area of interest and is offered at the St. James Campus in downtown Toronto, with online sections also available.
