Our courses can be delivered on your Sydney premises, at a hired venue or at our office. Location is largely dependent on which package you choose and how many participants there will be.

For last minute media prep, we also offer special one-on-one telephone interview sessions with a Media Trainer. This will help you learn instantly from your office (or other environment), how effectively you handled the ‘Media.’ Be advised on-the-spot how the Journalist would have used your interview in a pre-arranged story.
