Media First Ltd Reviews

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!

Tips on how to engage audience, channel nervous energy, how to answer difficult questions

Really knowledgeable course hosts, really took the time to individually feedback. It was a really engaging day and I didn’t switch off once!

The training was very insightful on how to prepare for a radio or TV interview. There were lots of useful tips to help keep the interview on message and ways in which you can make that message more focused to reach an audience. The exercises were practical and helped me rehearse for interviews in a safe setting and then time to reflect on the learning from that experience and to adjust my response in a real time interview setting. This training was time well spent and delivered by experienced professionals who were able to show me and my colleagues techniques that upskilled us to be better prepared for when we're next asked to take part in an interview.

Excellent training day, with lots of tips and advice on how to prepare for and deliver interviews over the phone, on TV and on radio.

The course was clearly designed for rapid improvement. The day felt very fast but the sections built on each other, such that you did not realise how much progress you actually made until the final presentation.

Really focused training and at the end of the training i definitely feel more confident in being able to handle questions i am not prepared for.

Good refresher from the training I did a number of years ago. Great to have a safe space to practice a new story that we haven’t yet landed all the messaging.

It was exactly the training I'd been asking for, fbs tutors were really helpful and gave great advice, they gave you time to make mistakes in a comfortable setting, very nice people and good tutors.

A course to identify your weaknesses and strengths in speaking and presenting to others. Receiving skills and tools to best help when presenting
