Media Training and Presenting to Camera
Course Detail
Whether you have to handle challenging media interviews or need to create compelling video content, this course will help you get your message across with style and confidence.
What to expect
This full day combined course is divided into two sessions.
We start with the media training. You learn how to prepare your key messages and how to take control of media interviews. You will then take part in a series of practical media interviews. We cover print, radio and television interviews. Each media interview is recorded and played back for analysis.
We show how to apply these media skills when you are presenting to camera. You will learn how to prepare and plan your video presentations. Our technique is “guided presentations”. We use a journalist style of questioning to help participants understand how to deliver confident, engaging and compelling content.
We concentrate on the stories behind your presentations, showing you how to bring them to life through human interest and tangible benefits.
Our training courses are tailored to each participant, with individual interview scenarios devised for each person. We can take a maximum of six participants per course. We send out pre-course questionnaires to help us tailor the training so that you get exactly what you need from the day.
