About National Silver Academy (NSA)
The National Silver Academy (NSA) is a network of post-secondary education institutions (PSEIs) (i.e. ITE, polytechnics, universities and arts institutions) and community-based organisations that offer learning opportunities that are subsidised for seniors. Seniors and PRs aged 50 years and above can look forward to attending short courses and bite-sized courses that are exam free. For courses run by community-based organisations, the final fee payable – for both Singaporean and Permanent Resident seniors – takes into account the support given by the government to community-based organisations to develop and offer the short courses.

It offers over 80 courses under the National Silver Academy, most of which are highly subsidised for Singaporeans & Permanent Residents aged 50 and above.

| Objective | The course aims to impart learners with
(1) the confidence to speak before an audience, (2) the proper speech structures to employ, (3) the appropriate speech contents, (4) the technical skills of speaking – eye contact, voice pitch, rate, and volume, hand gestures etc and (5) how to engage the audience. |
| Description | Seniors are often expected to speak on special occasions – to propose a toast at a banquet, to deliver a eulogy, to present an after-dinner speech, to roast an old friend, and to speak in praise of someone special. Many are embarrassed because they do not know where to start, what to say, and how to end the speech. This course prepares seniors, helps them overcome their nervousness, and helps them gain confidence. |
