How Can We Help

How training programs work
ClearSpeak training is targeted at those who wish to achieve a superior level of skill. All training is therefore by private tuition as no two speakers have the same needs nor do they learn new skills at the same pace. Having said this, small group training of up to three clients may be considered in certain cases. All pronunciation training is accompanied by recorded ClearSpeak training exercises. These are essential for home practice in order to bring about meaningful change.
Standard Programs (employer sponsored)

These are private tuition programs for those being sponsored by an employer. Programs may be of any length but are typically either:

Six Week Program:

Usually suitable for those wishing to improve voice, speed of speech, intonation and body language. If accented speech is an issue, then a longer program is required.

Twelve Week Program:

Usually suitable for those seeking to improve clarity of pronunciation and modify the impact of foreign or regional accent. Those who speak English as a second language will require a program of this length.

Programs begin with a comprehensive assessment of all aspects of your speaking style. This is followed by the recommended number of training sessions of one hour each. Sessions are generally held once a week to enable you to apply and consolidate what you have learnt. A short review session may be held three or four months after your program to review progress and provide you with feedback for further learning.

The program fee includes all ClearSpeak recorded audio exercises and printed materials. Progress reports are provided for corporate sponsors if required.

Training is held at your offices or at a ClearSpeak training location. A travel surcharge may apply in certain cases.

Flexi-Programs (self-financed)
This is a special no frills option for those financing their own training i.e. not administered by their employer. The training approach and materials are similar to those for Standard Programs but there are no reports or liaison with employers. Importantly, there are no accounts with this program. You pay-as-you-go at each session and receive all materials required for that session. Tax receipts will only be issued in the client’s name. These programs are available at a ClearSpeak training location. The length of program is confirmed following your initial assessment.
Speech therapy
If you have a speech disability such as cluttering (rapid, tumbled speech) or slurred speech due to a pathology, you may be eligible for speech therapy. A doctor’s referral or medical consultation will be required in certain cases. No GST is payable

and your Private Health Fund may cover part of the cost if you have the necessary cover.
Tutorials for Trainers

Private or small group tutorials are available for speech therapists and English language trainers. These two hour tutorials with Alison Kimble are arranged on request and are aimed at both experienced pronunciation trainers as well as those branching into this field. The content is tailored to suit participants but in general covers discussion of the concepts and techniques of the ClearSpeak Method of pronunciation change plus the CAP Test of sound assessment. It includes real time demonstration of how to train selected sounds in a client brought to the session by the participant. The Perfect Pronunciation book is essential pre-reading for the tutorial. A letter of completion is provided if required for Professional Self- Regulation purposes. More information and fee on request. 

Confidentiality
All training is conducted in strictest confidence. Your identity, personal details and progress are covered by the trainer’s professional ethics and Code of Practice.
