FAQS
Frequently asked questions.
Will the training be tailored to our sector?
We believe media courses can take many different forms. You may have experienced spokespeople who want to refresh their media skills ahead of a crucial announcement. Maybe you want to increase your pool of media spokespeople who can help tell your story. You might want to improve the media handling skills of your comms team so they can better manage enquiries from journalists. Whatever you need, our dedicated account managers will devise a course that meets your requirements and exceeds your expectations. It will be delivered by one of our experienced journalist tutors who will be supported by off-site telephone journalists and camera technicians with all equipment.
Have you worked with organisations like ours before?
In many cases, yes. We have supported organisations across more than 40 sectors, including business, finance, healthcare, local government, charities, engineering, education, travel and sport.
Even when working with organisations in a sector that is new to us, our team quickly develops an understanding of the challenges, stakeholders and communication issues that matter most.
How much time will we need to spend briefing you about our organisation?
Less than many clients expect.
Our team works across a wide range of sectors and quickly becomes familiar with organisational structures, communication challenges and industry issues. We will ask the right questions, review relevant materials and work closely with you to ensure training or consultancy feels specific to your organisation.
Will your trainers understand our industry?
Our team includes experienced journalists, broadcasters and communications specialists who regularly work across a wide range of industries.
They combine strong communication expertise with the ability to quickly understand new sectors, ask insightful questions and create relevant, realistic scenarios and learning experiences.
What support do you provide beyond training?
Many clients work with us for far more than a single training course.
Alongside communication training, we provide consultancy, crisis preparedness exercises, leadership development, coaching and ongoing support. We also offer continuous development through Thirty Seven, helping organisations embed learning and build lasting communication capability.
Where will our training take place?
That's entirely up to you.
We regularly deliver training at clients' offices across the UK and internationally. We also have our own dedicated TV, radio and podcast studios in Berkshire, providing a realistic environment for media interviews and communication exercises.
If another location is more convenient, we have access to studios and training facilities across the UK, including London, Manchester and Scotland.
And, of course, we can deliver many of our programmes virtually using platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
The most important thing is choosing the environment that best supports your objectives, delegates and learning outcomes.
What if our sector isn't listed on this page?
That doesn't mean we can't help.
The sectors shown here represent only a sample of the organisations we support. Get in touch with our team and we'll discuss your challenges, objectives and environment to show how we can tailor our approach to your organisation.
Can you help us prepare for a crisis or high-profile communication challenge?
Yes.
We work with organisations to review plans, test assumptions, strengthen communication strategies and prepare spokespeople and leadership teams for high-pressure situations. Our support can range from strategic consultancy and crisis simulations to practical media and leadership training.
How do you help organisations embed learning after a programme ends?
We believe communication capability should be created, tested, developed and embedded.
That's why many clients choose ongoing coaching, consultancy, refresher training, simulations and continuous learning through Thirty Seven. Our goal is not simply to deliver a workshop, but to help organisations create lasting behavioural change and stronger communication capability over time.
