We wanted to test our Corporate Communications team and senior leaders in a realistic crisis situation. We chose Media First because they already understand our business through the media training they provide for us, and we know that they have working journalists who would be able to put us through us our paces. And they didn't disappoint. The feedback Media First have given us has been invaluable and we have already sharpened up our processes as a result."

It’s really pleasing to watch someone with very little media experience develop throughout the day. The increase in ability and confidence is visible for all to see. This is down to the trainers and the way the course is planned and delivered. You get a real sense of how it will be in a real life scenario."

Grant Fisher, Head of Communications & Marketing, Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust

I find facilitators at Media First are honest yet constructive – this may be tough for the delegates to hear yet it’s critical to their development and future success. There’s little value to investing in a course where delegates are not given advice on what they should work on or improve. I think the delegates appreciate getting genuine feedback which isn’t all positive. It provides clarity and direction on their development journey."

Media First's training has given our people the skills and confidence to be able to handle any kind of interview successfully. The calibre of journalists has always had a positive impact on our attendees and they have all enjoyed the highly practical approach of learning different interview techniques."
