How to prepare

1. Please prepare a short two to three minute scripted media presentation.

2. Ask your colleagues to prepare four to five questions that the media might ask you if you were representing your organisation. The questions should be sealed in an envelope so that you can’t see them prior to the training. These questions will be used in media scenarios throughout the course.

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. On day two, participants are asked to bring a professional outfit to change into for different media presentation scenarios. We will also need a current colour head shot to assist our stylist in selecting the right products for hair, makeup and wardrobe.

We welcome you from 8.30 am for tea and coffee. Please make sure to arrive by 8.45 am to ensure a prompt start.

Arrival tea and coffee, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea will be provided.
