Broadcast Training

We make our trainings as realistic as possible – we don’t use role play or employ actors. Just real journalists, talking about real issues that affect your company.

Courses are extremely practical and are unlike others as in most cases you can expect to see immediate progress. Before each section we discuss the interview topics, how to prepare, key messages, the best way to handle hostile questions, body language and technical requirements.

Delegates are then given between ten and fifteen minutes to prepare before the interviews take place. After everyone has completed their turn we return to the meeting room and view each performance together as a group. Comments from the class are invited followed by a thorough confidence building critique from the trainers.

Key learning points:

  • how to develop key messages
  • how to take control of the interview by using the ‘bridging’ technique
  • the skills needed to avoid the interviewer's traps ??
  • to focus on what you can say, rather than what you can’t
  • how to cope with the intrusive technology and microphone techniques

After the course, each participant is given a copy of their interviews on DVD, they will  receive a full and thorough written assessment (sent via e-mail post course) and will be shown how to access our Media Guide on-line.

There are a variety of training venues available; a course can take place at a rented television studio, your own premises or another location of your choice – such as a conference centre or hotel.
