Media Skills - Online Reviews

Very informative, practice-based training with great feedback during the session itself, and great suggestions to take forwards.

I think the first section was repetitive to those on the team who have either done multiple sessions of media training, or who have worked in the industry for a number of years, but can appreciate why the content was in there. I really enjoyed the tips around location, microphone position and slating and pausing the audio recording. The tip sheet will be useful to share with our spox and storytellers and support them through recordings.

best training i have ever been on . Susan is awesome!

Useful tips for different types of interview and thorough preparation for interviews. The chance to practise answering questions in a supportive environment was really useful.

Very insightful and a lot of advice taken from it.

A great experience, I gained lots of knowledge and I feel it will help my development in multiple areas

A really beneficial training course that will help you answer media questions. Toby and Susan will teach you how to think about the audience, your key messages and how to answer journalist questions - even the harder ones!

Training gave lots of advice and different things to consider when doing any interviews. Ability to reflect afterwards was useful as it was then very clear to see what things could be improved.

Really helpful training that gave me a lot of pointers to work on, and things to consider when preparing for an interview. Having three different chances to practice and get instant feedback was great. I feel confident that I now have the knowledge to do a good interview and will be going away to practice.

Very useful, has made me much more confident in approaching media opportunities.
