Toastmasters International is the world's leading organisation dedicated to public speaking, communication and leadership. Once you become a member of a Toastmasters Club, your goal is to carry out the 10 projects of the Communication and Leadership Manual. 

Each project has precise objectives that help you in developing your skills one step at a time. Each project builds upon what you have learned in your previous speeches. By completing the ten projects, you will master the basic skills for effective public speaking.

After having completed the 10 projects of the Communication and Leadership Manual, you will then be able to chose among dozens of advanced projects, to refine your skills and specialize your training to your specific needs.

For details, you can read a Presentation of the Educational System (requires a .pdf reader) and visit the web site of Toastmasters International at http://www.toastmasters.org/
