Provided by Verve Training
This two day media training course gives a comprehensive training of the skills and tools that managers and other employees need to master when dealing with the media. The course is taught by a highly experienced producer who works in national TV today. So you can be assured that the advice you will receive on this course could not be more current or more up-to-date.
This is a highly interactive course which gives delegates the chance to practice media training techniques and to receive individual focussed feedback.
It covers everything from writing press releases, to chairing press conferences, to learning how to survive a range of different interview approaches. Delegates will have plenty of time to rehearse techniques in all these areas, including interview practice with a professional TV journalist. At the end of the course, delegates will also be able to take away a DVD of their interviews.
