Real experiences from people who improved their public speaking skills with Kokemi
Manchester
I joined these courses because I needed to present quarterly reports to our board of directors, and I would freeze every time. After 8 weeks of training, I delivered my first presentation without notes and received compliments from the CEO. The instructor taught me specific breathing techniques and how to structure my thoughts under pressure. I now volunteer to present at meetings. Worth every penny, and I've already recommended this to three colleagues.

Birmingham
Good programme overall. The course helped me reduce my filler words and speak more clearly. My only note would be that I expected more one-on-one feedback sessions – we had group practice mostly. Still, I can see improvement in how I communicate at work.

Edinburgh
The training exceeded my expectations. I came in with a thick regional accent that I felt held me back in client meetings. The tutor never tried to erase my identity but helped me enunciate more clearly and pace my speech better. I closed two major contracts within a month of finishing the course.

Bristol
Mixed feelings about this. The techniques taught are solid and the instructor clearly knows the subject. However, the course materials felt a bit dated and some video examples were hard to relate to. Also, scheduling was sometimes inflexible – I had to miss one session because it couldn't be rescheduled. The practical exercises were helpful though, and I did learn how to manage my nerves better.

Leeds
Brilliant! I can now speak confidently at networking events without rehearsing for hours beforehand.
February 2024
Glasgow
I signed up specifically to prepare for my wedding speech. The course covered much more than I needed, which was actually great value. Learned how to use pauses effectively and how to read the room. My speech went well, though I wish there had been more emphasis on humour and storytelling. Would recommend for anyone with a specific speaking event coming up.

Liverpool
As a university lecturer, I thought I already knew how to speak publicly. Wrong. This training showed me I had developed bad habits over 15 years – speaking in monotone, rushing through complex points, avoiding eye contact with certain students. The video analysis sessions were uncomfortable but necessary. My student feedback scores improved by 23% in the following term. The investment paid for itself when I was selected to deliver the keynote at our annual conference.

Newcastle
The ROI was excellent. I paid £895 for the complete course and landed a promotion within two months that came with a £8,000 salary increase. My manager specifically mentioned my improved communication skills during the review.
February 2024
Sheffield
Decent course but not quite what I expected. The content is useful if you're a complete beginner, but I found some modules too basic. The instructor was knowledgeable, though the small class size meant we sometimes waited around during individual coaching sessions. Good for the fundamentals, but I might have benefited more from a more advanced programme.

Cambridge
I run a small charity and regularly need to pitch to potential donors and partners. Before this training, I would over-explain everything and lose people's attention within minutes. The course taught me how to craft a compelling 3-minute pitch, how to handle difficult questions without becoming defensive, and how to adjust my message for different audiences. We secured £45,000 in funding after I applied these techniques to our annual appeal presentation. The course materials are comprehensive and I still refer back to them.
March 2024
Nottingham
Solid training that delivered results. My main goal was to stop mumbling and speak more clearly in team meetings. That problem is solved. The course ran slightly longer than advertised (10 weeks instead of 8), but the extra time was used for additional practice sessions, so no real complaint there.
