Competent Communication Manual
New members receive a membership kit containing the
Competent Communication manual,
often called the "Basic Manual", and four other manuals:
Competent Leadership, Your Speaking Voice,
Effective Speech Evaluation, and Gestures: Your Body Speaks.
The Competent Communication
manual is designed to give new members a strong start
in developing a core set of skills for public speaking.
Each of the ten projects in this basic manual focuses
on a certain aspect of speech making - from orgranization
to delivery.
Completion of the Competent Communication manual fulfills the
requirement for the Competent Communicator or Competent Toastmaster award.
Advanced Communication Manuals
Each of the Advanced Communication manuals challenges members to further
improve their skills in a specific area of public speaking.

requirements for each of the Advanced Communicator or Advanced Toastmaster awards.
