Remote Media Training
Media Training in challenging times.
Our remote media training closely replicates the experience of face-to-face training. You will see, hear and be able to speak to the trainer, interact with other delegates and complete activities online throughout.
Course Details
We’ve found that online training works best as shorter sessions in smaller groups.
We usually take just two or three people and deliver the training over three hours. We still tailor your training and include practical media interviews with playback and analysis.
This workshop combines theory with practical realistic media interviews. You will develop your media handling skills easily and quickly. We tailor a range of interview scenarios, specifically for you.
You will learn how to identify your key messages and how to promote the good news within your organisation. You will learn techniques to help you handle crisis situations, how to keep the media under control and prevent a serious situation turning into a media circus.
You’ll take part in realistic media interviews with tailored scenarios and playback analysis that will prepare you for all types of print, radio and television interviews. We alert you to the pitfalls, show how to stay on message and how to avoid those tricky journalistic traps that can so easily snare even seasoned media performers.
What do you need?
A computer or mobile device with reliable internet access, a comfy chair and a headset if you have one.
We will also provide simple, clear notes, both before and after the course to each participant. We can also provide the recorded training session, should you need to revisit your training.
How do you access the online training
Just like a webinar, we will send you the login details and you will need to log in using those instructions. This virtual classroom can be delivered as tailored training for your own organisation, or join one of our open courses on the dates below.
