We have experience working with a wide range of global and UK organisations, FTSE100, AIM listed and Ltd companies as well as charities, public sector and government bodies. Our team have trained people in every industry, from technology to law, banking to retail and construction to healthcare.
Our presentation and media training courses are bespoke so we are happy to work around hours that suit you and can make the sessions the length you need. But in order to cover all the relevant theory and allow for enough practical scenarios, we usually advise that sessions are a half-day or full-day.
We are based in Canary Wharf in London and often run presentation and media sessions in our training studios (with TV and radio rooms which are perfect for media-interview practice), but can come to your office/location, in the UK or abroad, or hire a suitable venue if you need it.
We recommend a maximum of 3 people per half-day and 6 people per full-day, for media or presentation training, to ensure that each person gets enough practice, coaching and ‘face-time’ with the trainer.
Yes, we can – we’ve been running sessions via video conference for many years – the expert advice and guidance you get is the same as in-person and if it’s more convenient for you to undergo training via Teams and Zoom, we’re happy to run it that way.
