Media First Ltd Reviews

A good way to gain experience of different kinds of media engagement (TV, radio, written)

A comprehensive overview of different types of media and how to cater your presentation to each. Really supportive and knowledgeable tutors who gave feedback throughout which we could build on during each task.

Insightful and full of useful tips.

The trainers are experienced and supportive, and the course provides diverse learning formats.

Great training opportunity to gain confidence for media interviews

A highly engaging and useful bite-sized media training session. Leaves me wanting more.

A little bit of theory with a lot of practical application and review

We looked into presenting in an appealing and catchy way, to focus our discourse and make sure the key message gets delivered. We also had a look at ways to deal with difficult situations with Q&As, although I was a bit more ambivalent about this part as it at times felt too much like we were learning to avoid questions rather than simply dealing with hecklers. They did put emphasis on being honest about not knowing the answer, or deferring to the relevant person, which I think is healthy.

Excellent, practical and stretching

Extremely useful in giving me a chance to reinvigorate my presenting. I have done the same for a number of years and this gave me a chance to add some new techniques, especially the q and a handling techniques.
