Strategic Media Training
Great trainers, highly engaging. I definitely feel better equipped for handling these sort of situations in the future. Definitely worth the investment and I would say it is essential for anyone in a role that may be asked to represent the force in the media. Appreciating the transferable skills is an added extra.

Dave and Rachel recently ran a strategic media training session with our senior exec team at Fairhive and it’s always a pleasure when we work with them. They are professional trainers with a dedication to helping individuals. Throughout the session they demonstrated a deep knowledge of strategic media providing an individualised training session with both local and national examples. They were able to keep the group engaged and positive and have the ability to adapt to the needs of each participant; providing constructive feedback during the recording element of the training.

An afternoon doing Media training with Dave Mason from Mentor was pure gold for me. It was fun, challenging and full of journalistic and business insight. Dave is a seasoned professional whose understanding of print, broadcast and social media is hard to fault. His real skill is to help you articulate your own story and ensure that you enter any media interview on the front foot, with an arsenal of tactics to help you. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Professor Tansy Jessop, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Education, University of Bristol
Thanks for the engaging and knowledgeable session. It was great for our senior team to have the opportunity to practice and gain feedback in a real studio setting that the Mentor Media Training team made feel very relaxed. We look forward to putting it into practice.

Crisis Training
Thank you so much for the training yesterday. It was the perfect combination of insight and practical application, brought to life through the experience, knowledge and the stories yourself and Chris shared. We all enjoyed the day and took so much from it: definitely one of the best training sessions I’ve been on.
Juliet Allister, Head of Brand and Sustainability, Cornish Mutual
Thanks to Mentor for a brilliant day of training around crisis comms. It’s amazing how comfortable you can get in front of the camera if you just follow the techniques! Really worthwhile business continuity preparation for the team.

Presentation
Hugely informative. Getting a ‘magic formula’ for structuring a presentation and targeting the audience was most useful. Relaxed and professional tutoring.
