Well, there's the CL, AL and DTM, of which more in a moment, but there are also Success/Leadership and Success/Communication modules, as well as the Better Speaker and Better Club series. If you'd like to delve in detail into subjects such as management, the qualities of a leader, effective listening, parliamentary procedure, creative thinking, and so forth, Toastmasters International offers pre-packaged course materials for you or a member of your club to present to a group of participants. These courses are called Success/Leadership and Success/Communications modules.
The modules come complete with instruction manuals for the participants and for the coordinator, as well as overhead transparencies and so forth to use during the session. The modules cost anywhere from $15 to $45, with proceeds going to pay for development of MORE modules.
Modules are currently available on the following subjects:
There is an additional course available called "Youth Leadership" which is similar to Speechcraft except that it's targeted for children and teenagers and it's not formally part of the Success/Leadership or Success/Communications program.
The modules average just over two hours each. Modules are ordered through the Supply Catalog (available for a dollar from World Headquarters), but veteran members own many of them and will share them with newer members.
Toastmasters International has published a Leadership Manual which contains various leadership projects. If you wish to undertake a personalized development of your leadership skills, you may purchase the Leadership manual and get the assistance of your club in working on its projects. This training in leadership takes you along the same path you travel on the way to a DTM and when you complete the Manual, you receive a certificate attesting to your leadership excellence.
