Public Speaking Training Courses: The 3 Critical Questions You Must Ask

When evaluating public speaking training courses, there are 3 Critical Questions you must ask to make sure you're not wasting your investment of time and money.

Critical Question #1: Who will actually be conducting the entire course of training?

Think of it this way: if you wanted to study Karate, who would you rather be trained by - one of the other Karate students, or by the actual Master of the School?

Be sure that any public speaking training courses you're seriously considering spending your money on will be conducted 100% by the actual expert who runs that training company.

Don't buy into a great sounding course only to get stuck being trained by some inexperienced flunky - you want the expert's eagle eye on you the entire time.

Critical Question #2 - Will you get hands-on training plus lots of personal attention?

Sitting through lectures will never make you a better speaker - only hands-on experience will get you there.

Make sure no more than 20% will be lecture and at least 80% of the course will be hands-on experience.

Also, make sure you'll get a lot of personal attention. Without lots of personal attention you simply won't be able to develop and make progress.

Critical Question #3 - Can you retake the training course for free?

If you can retake the course for free, then you can be assured that this course is very good and the company is very confident in their courses - AND that you're not walking into a sales pitch disguised as a public speaking training..

This is where most training companies fall down because they'll make you pay to retake the training you just took.

Only the very best public speaking training courses are conducted by companies that allow you to retake their course again for free.

Summary:
Be sure to ask these 3 Critical Questions when evaluating public speaking training courses:

  1. Is 100% of the course taught by the experienced expert? - Never settle for trainings where you're pawned off on some assistant with questionable experience and ability.

  2. Will you be receiving hands-on experience and will you receive lots and lots of personal attention and feedback? - Make sure at least 80% of the course will be hands-on training and that you'll get lots of personal attention.

  3. Can you retake the training again for free? Only the most reputable company is dedicated enough to your progress and development to allow you to come back and train again at no extra cost to you - and this is also a clear indication that you're NOT walking into a sales pitch disguised as a public speaking training..
