Certified Corporate Speaker

The IACS has partnered with the Bill Gove Speech Workshop as the official training program for all IACS designations. The Bill Gove Speech Workshop has trained more successful professional presenters and speakers than any other organization in the world since 1947.

The Certified Corporate Speaker designation is earned upon successful completion of the Bill Gove Certified Corporate Speaker Program.

Imagine taking the skills you've learned in the most successful professional presenting/speaking course in the world and putting them into practice for the following 12 months.all under the personal guidance of a world-class expert in the Bill Gove System.

This Certified Corporate Speaker Program is about maximizing your ROI in the Bill Gove Executive Speech Workshop through continuing education and real world implementation. Each participant is required to submit one videotaped presentation per month to his or her designated Bill Gove coach and receives written feedback on how to improve and move to the next level. After 11 months of critiques, you will have the opportunity to submit your final video as your audition tape for the prestigious Certified Corporate Speaker (C.C.S.) Designation. You will also be required to pass a written exam which shows you possess a fundamental understanding of what it takes to motivate, inspire and engage any audience.


The C.C.S. designation is the equivalent of a Masters Degree in professional presenting/speaking skills, and has the power to substantially differentiate an executive from his or her peers. Unlike an academic speech degree, the C.C.S. is earned in the real world of main street business where audiences are tough minded, short on attention, and bottom line focused.

The Certified Corporate Speaker designation is sanctioned by the International Association of Corporate Speakers, and its recipients include some of the finest speakers in corporations throughout the world.
