What can I expect from this course?This training program is conducted as weekly, regular group training classes, with greater emphasis on an encouraging and engaging learning environment. Unlike other one-way lecture-styled courses, our competent and passionate training team delivers a hands-on approach for optimal learning of public speaking skills and presentation techniques – we believe that learning is best achieved through a maximising combination of theory and practice. We provide our students with the printed handouts and video recordings of their practice speech deliveries, maximising their learning by providing them with an opportunity to evaluate their performance in class and identify key areas of improvement moving forward.
groups
How big is the class?We keep our class sizes small (maximum 12 students) to ensure that each learner receives dedicated focus and attention to their learning and development from our trainers. You will get the opportunity to review your learning each class in front of a sufficiently challenging group size.
Methodology
We provide our learners with a sufficiently safe, but still constructive, challenging and conducive, training environment for you to learn, train and grow as individuals and as a group. Our public speaking classes are structured based on our 50 – 50 Rule:
menu_book
For every class, 50% of the class time is focused on an open and engaging sharing of public speaking skills and techniques, peppered with our professional trainers' personal experiences and engagement activities & tools.
record_voice_over
For every class, 50% of the class time is dedicated to providing our students with the safe and constructive space to practice, practice and practice their craft (ample opportunities to apply the skills taught)! They receive professional, detailed, and dedicated evaluation every training class.
Our 50 – 50 Rule ensures that all our learners get a valuable opportunity to test their learning in a supportive environment, receive immediate and relevant feedback, and clarify their doubts in their public speaking learning journey. This prepares our learners to apply the experience to other speaking opportunities outside!

Testimonials & Reviews

Below are some actual, verbatim & verifiable Google reviews/ client testimonials extracted from our Google Business page (available here)
Sam Ong
Both the 12 weeks and 2 days programs were fantastic for beginners like myself. Even for people who are experienced with public speaking, the courses offer the opportunity to improve on various techniques. Both offers plenty of speaking opportunities in front of a small (10-15) class. Speeches would be recorded on your own camera phone with feedbacks from the trainers. This allows me to view my own performance on camera and identify where I need to improve.
The learning environment was friendly and encouraging. Darren Tay and Zulhafni were top notch speakers by themselves. They were genuine, friendly, respectful and knowledgeable. For those who are looking for a public speaking course for self improvement, I would highly recommend the Public Speaking Academy.
L Lin
I attended the WCCP to improve my public speaking skills after a recent promotion. The course is not only full of useful tips and skills, but also gave ample practice time to hone what we learnt. I can certainly feel my confidence in public speaking has increased by leaps and bounds, and would recommend this course for those seeking to improve their public speaking skills.
Azel Low
It was the most enjoyable course I have attended. I recommend the WCCP course to anyone interested in improving their public speaking or communication skills.
In addition to covering a range of speaking situations with practical techniques that can be easily applied, the real gem is the opportunity to practice the techniques in a very safe environment and to learn from each other.
I look forward to attending each lesson to practice and improve my communication skills.
Ya Hui Xia
I attended the 12-week (once a week) WCCP program at Hougang Branch. It is good program and I recommend anyone who wants to improve communications skill to attend it. I am glad that I went for it and the course definitely benefitted me. The trainer, Mr Zul, taught us various techniques and provided us with conducive environment to practice and present in front of fellow learners. He also gave us very specific feedback after each of our speaking session, which is really helpful. I have gained more confidence, my standing posture is more steady, and way of presentation is calmer now.
Yi Khoon Lim
The course material are well structured and highly relevant to the communication needs of working professionals. Mugan, the trainer, was effective in addressing the questions of students and encouraged questions from students to allow deep learning. I have also seen my classmates transformed from a beginner into confident speakers over just the short 12 weeks.
Really enjoyed the lessons and improved my communication skills over the span of the course.
Christine Joy Matuto
I attended the World Champion Certification Programme for 12 weeks here at Public Speaking Academy. I took the course at the Bukit Timah branch and was taught by Mr. Imran Tahir.
Mr. Imran continuously supports my journey even outside the class. I enjoyed his lessons, and his classes helped me build confidence and improve my communication skills. There are some sessions where I enjoyed learning from Mr. Zulhafni as well. The instructors here are very professional and experienced. Highly recommended!
Md Hidayat
Public Speaking Academy changed my approach to public speaking. Today, with continual practicing, I feel much confident in presenting to an audience than I was before Public Speaking Academy. The program (12 weeks, 2 hours for each session per week) might sound long, but it is worth investing your personal time.
The reason for my signup was to improve my presentation skills. Each week, we get to present in front of the class to apply the tools that we learn. These tools enable my fellow classmates and I, to elevate our levels of presentations that we were not able to previously.
I Z
Just completed the twelve weeks training in Oct 2021. Though the training didn't turn me into an eloquent speaker overnight, but the techniques, mind and skills set taught, are much-needed boost, to believe in myself, that helps to exude my confidence to overcome the fear of public speaking.
After attending first few lessons, with an impromptu presentation each week, noticed all of us possess a certain level of public speaking abilities. Pretty sure going to miss the lively and engaging class activity we had each week.
MAE
Really glad I plucked up my courage to attend the public speaking class with PSA. Classes are well structured, concepts are easy to grasp and apply. The confidence I gained was noticeable at work.
Cheryl Ng
I was really glad when I attended this course as it gave me a safe space to try public speaking over 12 weeks. It gave me exposure to try a range of communication techniques. This spilled over to my daily life and at work where I learned to communicate better.
I attended the course by Mr Zulhafni and found the course to be fun and engaging. Zul provides customised feedback to each individual and is very encouraging in class.
