The course will be held at a venue in London for Two Weeks. Dates to suit both parties. The times are from 9:30am until 4:30pm Monday to Friday with the usual breaks. Morning coffee and afternoon tea and biscuits will be supplied, but you will naturally make your own arrangements for lunch.

The Deputy Principal at my school is Mr. Ashley Powell who was trained personally by me, and is a superb Instructor. You will be taught everything that has to be known about the profession, from officiating at a cocktail party to a Royal banquet. It is a most fascinating and interesting course. The charge for the course is £5000.00 plus VAT, which has to be paid a month before the course commences. At the end of the course a Diploma is presented from The Ivor Spencer School for Professional Toastmasters, personally signed by me.

The School will try in the early days to place functions for you so that you can gain experience, but does not promise further functions, but of course will do its best when the opportunity arises, and you will be able to immediately join the appointments bureau of The Guild of International Professional Toastmasters. At the end of the course the School will suggest that you have your own business cards and letter-headings printed, and you will be advised on how to start your own professional business.

Should you wish to join The Guild of International Professional Toastmasters, I will propose you and Ashley Powell will second you, and you can apply as soon as you wish after you have passed the course.

Toastmasters trained at the School that have applied to join this International Guild have all been accepted, but we are unable to guarantee acceptance.

The Ivor Spencer Professional Toastmasters School has been established since 1981.
