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.

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. :-)
