CA Presentation Evaluator Certification

Course Overview:

The purpose of the California 4-H Presentation Program is to help youth improve their public speaking abilities. Presentation events are one strategy to reach this goal by allowing youth to practice the knowledge and skills gained and receive constructive feedback on their progress.

Learners who successfully calibrate each presentation format with a score of 80% or greater will receive an electronic badge, certificate, and are certified to evaluate on that specific presentation format. When all presentation formats have been successfully completed, the individual will earn the "Master 4-H Presentation Evaluator" achievement badge and certificate.

This course is designed for individual participation and not for group settings.
