Frequently asked questions about Pitching: your personal presentation in-company
Where does the in-company Pitching: Your Personal Presentation course take place?
Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.
Can the content be tailored to our organisation?
Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.
How large can the group be?
That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.
What does Pitching: Your Personal Presentation in-company cost?
You get a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quotation. For a group this works out cheaper than registering everyone individually. For comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs EUR 625,- excl. VAT per participant.
Can the course be delivered in English?
Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.
Do participants receive a certificate?
Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.
How do I request a quote?
Via the quote form: state the course, the number of participants and roughly where and when you would like it. An adviser will then contact you.
What will you learn in the Pitching: your personal presentation course?
You learn how to build and deliver a sharp personal pitch. You work on the content of your story, on your body language and voice, and on capturing and holding attention. You also gain insight into your qualities and pitfalls and practise with difficult situations, such as critical questions or time pressure.
Who is the pitch training course suitable for?
The course is suitable for anyone who regularly has to introduce themselves briefly: entrepreneurs, professionals, employees and people starting out on the labour market. You are welcome if you want to sharpen your story, increase your self-confidence or make more impact at networking events and in business conversations.
Do you need prior knowledge for this course?
No, no prior knowledge is required. It does help if you think beforehand about a specific situation in which you want to pitch, for example a networking drinks event or a job interview. That way you can practise with your own case during the course.
Do you receive a certificate after the course?
Yes, afterwards you receive a Learnit certificate of attendance. With it you can demonstrate that you have completed the Pitching: your personal presentation course.
What is the difference between a pitch and an ordinary presentation?
A pitch is short and aimed at one clear goal: making the other person curious or prompting a follow-up conversation. A presentation is usually longer and intended to transfer knowledge or explain a story in full. In a pitch you work with fewer words and every sentence has to hit home.
Can the course also be run in-company?
Yes, the course can also be booked in-company for teams or departments. We then tailor the content and examples to your practice, for example to client conversations, trade fairs or internal presentations. Contact us to discuss the options.
How long should a good pitch be?
A classic elevator pitch lasts about thirty to sixty seconds. Sometimes you have even less time, for example during a brief round of introductions, and sometimes a little more. In the course you learn to have your story ready in various lengths, so you can adapt your pitch to the situation.
How do you start a pitch without sounding like a cliché?
Start with something that grabs attention: a brief observation, a recognisable situation or a question that suits your audience. Avoid standard openings such as 'my name is X and I work at Y'. During the course you practise with different openings and discover which one suits you and your story.
