Frequently asked questions
What will I learn on a public speaking course?
The course follows twelve components. You learn to analyse your audience and build an audience profile, outline and organise your material, find credible sources and write the presentation. Then you prepare: checking the venue, gathering materials and working through a 24-hour checklist. Finally you practise delivery, using visual aids, controlling the volume of your voice, adjusting on the fly and handling questions, including ones that sound like an attack.
Are there public speaking classes near me?
BOTI runs public speaking training in three ways: in-house at your premises, at our training venue in Sunningdale, Johannesburg, or live online. The in-house and online options mean teams in Cape Town, Durban or elsewhere in South Africa can be trained without travelling to Johannesburg. Call 011 882 8853 or email [email protected] to ask about dates or an in-house session for your team.
Can a public speaking course help with stage fright?
Yes. Managing nerves is a full component of the course. It covers preparing mentally, physical relaxation techniques and how to appear confident in front of a crowd even when you do not feel that way. Thorough preparation also reduces nerves, so the course teaches you to check the venue, gather your materials and use a 24-hour checklist before you speak.
Is this a motivational speaker course?
Not as such. It is a public speaking and presentation course for people who speak at work: it teaches you to structure a message, engage an audience and deliver it with confidence. The same skills help if you want to grow as a motivational speaker, and the course covers techniques for connecting with an audience, but it is not designed as a motivational speaker programme.
BOTI’s two-day Public Speaking Training course runs in-house at your premises, at our venue in Sunningdale, Johannesburg, or online. It is not accredited; delegates receive a BOTI certificate of attendance. To book a place or arrange a session for your team, call 011 882 8853 or email [email protected].
