Media Skills - Online Reviews

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.

Today, was an excellent experience and a day well spent. It was run at a good pace and there was enough time for reflection and preparation. It was lovely to meet other academics and learn about their research. Tasneem and Jane were wonderfully honest and kind, with some fantastic tips and advice. Thank you very much. :-)

Training is very helpful to progress in media skills.

Very effective and impactful.

I felt at ease and comfortable from the start as I had been somewhat apprehensive as it had been some years since any official media training. The tutors especially Damian were very adept at enabling us to improve as we went along. They encouraged me, to be me with gentle coaching which really showed in my last two interviews. Not an easy subject to get across and some excellent tips. Loved the bridging and differences between good and bad. Worthwhile and the time flew by which is always a good sign. From start to finish, including Laura at base assisting with queries, it was a very hands on and positive experience. Thank you!
