Please note: 90% of what is covered is applicable with all online, live presentation platforms. We’ll cover some Zoom-specific tools, and won’t go at all into Teams, Google Meet, Webex, GoToWebinar, etc. We also won’t get into OBS, ATEM, eCamm, ManyCam or other add-on software.
You can be a masterful virtual presenter without these tools so the course focuses on skills everyone can implement, whether they use additional tools or not.

Earn your Virtual Master Presenter Designation
You need to attend four of the five Virtual Master Presenter course sessions to earn your VMP designation.
You will set up a half-hour, live meeting with your facilitator to go through the criteria given to you at the end of the course. You will demonstrate skills in the five areas learned throughout the course. If your facilitator sees you demonstrate competency in all five areas, you will be awarded the VMP certificate and the right to use the badge in your marketing. The badge will be added to your eSpeakers profile automatically, and you will have the right to display the badge on your website, email signature, and other marketing material.
If you need to improve your competency in one or more areas, the facilitator will explain what needs to be improved, both verbally and in writing, and you will make another appointment to retest those areas. The retest is included in your enrollment fee. If subsequent retests are needed, there is an additional fee.
