For experienced professionals the course is a useful sharpener, for early-career designers it provides the fundamentals of good communication. It is aimed at designers who have some responsibility for speaking with clients or stakeholders. Groups are often mixed experience from newly qualified to partner level.

Design Communication Training programme teaches the fundamentals of one-to-one spoken  communication; whether that’s speaking in a meeting, on the phone, in a restaurant or inside a digital environment. It doesn’t teach one-to-many communication skills such as public speaking, written or visual communication.

Workshops can be delivered at your place of work or an independent workspace. We offer limited individual coaching online. But we don't offer group online training because it doesn't offer the level of connection needed.

Courses usually take place over 5 workshops of 2 hours each, but can be tailored to suit your requirements.

The course consists of up to five group workshops for 8-12 participants. Larger cohorts can be split into sub-groups.

Workshops are led by Tom Coupe. Some are additionally supported by our expert training team.

We can plan a more focussed programme if you want to develop particular skills. Limited sessions for one-to-one coaching are available on request.

The Design Communication Training programme covers 10 fundamental skills organised over three basic topics: Audience, Storytelling and Meeting Skills.

The course is not CPD accredited but if you want it we can get it no problem.
