Educational System

So how do you get educated in the art of public speaking in Toastmasters?

The road starts with the Competent Communication Manual which contains ten speaking projects. On completion of this manual, you will qualify as a Competent Communicator, a very significant achievement!

As a Competent Communicator you will have developed sufficient skills and now have the ability to meet higher challenges. So where to now?

There are two tracks that can be followed, they being the Communication Track or the Leadership Track. However in order to qualify as a Distinguished Toastmaster, the highest award in Toastmasters International, you will need to complete both tracks.
