All our consultants have a background in regional, national journalism and broadcast media. Here's a video walk-through of what we do:
E-learning and online communications training
We provide the only CPD Accredited media training courses across a range of formats, both face-to-face and E-learning. Using an interactive video platform, we'll coach your teams in crisis media handling, down-the-line video interviews and key message development.
We work around the world and in the UK across the private, public and third sectors, including government departments, health, housing, education, FTSE100 corporate, leading brands, financial, transport and energy.
Our CPD accredited courses are tailored to the needs of each client, backed up by decades of experience across broadcast, social, print and reputation management. People tell us that our practical sessions are the best. They often go home knowing more about themselves and in a team-building way, can get to know their colleagues better too.

Mentor has enjoyed a lengthy relationship with GWR, firstly through media training for middle managers.
This has developed into a fully integrated programme of training across crisis, media skills, social media and internal communications videos.
We are now rolling out a longer term programme, where staff can progress through their own continuing professional development, into expert ambassadors and commentators on behalf of the company.

We've provided support and coaching for senior management in the run up to major events in 2017.
Mentor has worked with Bristol International Airport for many years, handling its exercise media simulation, media training and now a tranche of advanced social media resilience training.
Media Relations Manager Jacqui Mills explains why Bristol Airport chose to use Mentor for our social media crisis simulation training:
Mentor provided mock media interviews during the recruitment process for a very senior position
"We commissioned Mentor to conduct crisis media training for our executive team. Without exception, everyone found it extremely professional, challenging, useful and enjoyable. Dave brings the subject matter to life, drawing upon considerable knowledge and insight. I would highly recommend the team at Mentor."
Mark Lambert, Head of Communications and Marketing, Gloucestershire Care Services NHS Trust
Mentor recently provided a seminar in reputation management for members of the press and communications team. We’ve also delivered presentation masterclasses for partners in Europe.
