The training was very insightful on how to prepare for a radio or TV interview. There were lots of useful tips to help keep the interview on message and ways in which you can make that message more focused to reach an audience. The exercises were practical and helped me rehearse for interviews in a safe setting and then time to reflect on the learning from that experience and to adjust my response in a real time interview setting. This training was time well spent and delivered by experienced professionals who were able to show me and my colleagues techniques that upskilled us to be better prepared for when we're next asked to take part in an interview.

Really interesting and informative background to journalists and media in general. Presenters were very professional, clearly experienced and very good overall - much better than usual trainers! Theory, tips and practical feedback was invaluable in getting messages across in any forum, not just interaction with media - I'll be using this internally and externally in meetings.

Very useful session, some excellent tangible techniques to help improve media interactions. The course pushed me out of my comfort zone, but in a really supportive way, and it has helped me feel much more confident in those situations.
