very relatable course, using easy to understand/attain strategies to help improve message delivery, and to understand/appreciate the aims/goals of the journalist. Involved a number of staged interviews, but these never felt uncomfortable or false

There is a lot more to how you present... maybe we are doing this for years... and we are good at it.. by taking this course, we get to know the real picture and we can get better at it.. Presenting, and interviews... they nail it in one...

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.
