media first - media training

Preparing you for contact with the media

When the media calls on you for an interview, you need to be prepared.

"It's an alien environment, sometimes a hostile one - and yet you must be comfortable, composed, informed and in control.

It's a media interview

And there is no such thing as a natural broadcaster, for even the most accomplished presenters take time to learn their craft, to become clear, confident and credible. But the craft can be learnt, the tone of voice can be coached, the body language developed; the butterflies banished."

Our media training courses are realistic and authentic

Preparing you for contact with the media, be it radio, television or the press, is our business, and it has been for over fifteen years. In that time we have developed a range of practical media training techniques and courses that use experienced professionals, such as practising journalists, to explain how the media works and to allow individuals to cope with its demands.

Our media training courses work because they are realistic and authentic, with a practical, structured approach:

  • Content: Saying what needs to be said
  • Delivery: Saying it well, and with assurance
  • Control: Saying all that is needed, but no more

And that means not simply using practising professionals - journalists and technicians who know the media, and who may be working in a news studio one day and ours the next, but those rare journalists who are also talented teachers and coaches.

Our television and radio studios in Berkshire are BBC broadcast quality, but dedicated wholly to Media Training, and the needs of our clients alone - so are available for as long as needed - without pressure or interruption.

Individually designed to meet your specific requirements, all our programmes give you consistency and control, and we can also help hone and enhance communication skills further with training in advanced crisis management and presentation.

So, should the real thing happen, in the media, the office or even the boardroom, you will always be in control - clear, credible and confident.
