Why Schools With Existing Public Speaking Clubs Are Choosing Fordax

Many schools already offer a public speaking club, debate club or communication programme. So a natural question is: Why should we introduce another public speaking programme?

The answer is that Fordax is not simply another weekly club. It provides a structured public speaking education system designed to help schools deliver, measure and grow student development more professionally.

What makes the Fordax Public Speaking Club different?

1. A curriculum developed by public speaking professionals

Fordax’s curriculum is developed within a dedicated public speaking school with more than 15 years of experience in public speaking, communication and professional training. Instead of relying on a teacher to create activities from week to week, schools receive a structured curriculum with defined lessons, activities and learning objectives.

What does the school receive?

Fordax provides more than a curriculum. The programme includes teaching resources, an LMS, activities, assessments, progress tracking, certificates, facilitator training, safeguarding resources and ongoing programme support.

This means the programme does not depend entirely on one teacher’s personal experience or teaching style. Trained facilitators can work within an established system while the school maintains greater consistency in delivery.

How can we measure whether students are improving?

This is one of the important differences between an informal club and a structured programme.

Students can progress through lessons, activities, projects and assessments rather than simply attending weekly sessions. Schools can use programme systems to monitor participation and progress, while parents can see that their children are following a defined learning pathway.

The goal is to move from “my child attends public speaking club” to “my child is developing measurable communication and speaking skills.”

What happens to students beyond our school?

Fordax students become part of a growing public-speaking network that extends beyond their individual school. This gives students an opportunity to identify with a wider community of young speakers and potentially participate in activities and experiences beyond their normal school environment.

For a school, this can make the programme feel like part of something larger than a local extracurricular club.

Does the certificate have value?

Students receive a Fordax certificate rather than only an internally issued school club certificate. Because Fordax operates as a dedicated public-speaking education and training organisation, the certificate carries an external Fordax identity.

Schools should, of course, communicate the certificate accurately and avoid representing it as a government or university qualification unless such recognition specifically applies.

Can the school make money from the programme?

Yes. The Fordax licensing model is designed to create an additional programme and revenue opportunity for participating schools.

Under the applicable arrangement, parents pay separately for the Fordax programme, and the school receives 70% of programme revenue. This can make the programme feel like a specialist enrichment offering rather than another charge added to existing school fees.

Do we have to replace our existing club?

Not necessarily.

A school can continue its existing debate or public-speaking activities while using Fordax to introduce a structured curriculum, assessment pathway, technology, facilitator development and external programme identity.

The question is therefore not:

“Is our existing club good enough?”

It is:

“Could our existing public-speaking programme become more structured, measurable, scalable and valuable to students and parents?”

For schools looking to strengthen their public speaking and communication offering, Fordax provides the system behind the programme — while the school continues to provide the environment, students and educational community.
