Thank you for the excellent media training. The feedback was all extremely positive and we are currently considering similar future training for other staff…I will definitely recommend choosing Media Friendly again.

A very informative day, delivered by a very knowledgeable person. The practical nature made it a valuable learning exercise.

A very enjoyable and informative session by a very professional facilitator.

Professionalism, excellence and commitment are the three words that most spring to mind from the feedback we’ve received from those who have participated in, and benefited, from your highly effective approach to media training.

— Hilary Knox, Director, Association of North East Councils

Andrew reflects my own ethical approach to business and communications, his training style is relaxed, friendly and professional. Thank you for another excellent session.

— Yorkshire Housing

Wow – what a thoroughly enjoyable day. Andrew was magnificent, very motivating and knowledgeable. The cabinet members were very impressed and both they, and I, are confident that they can now front any interview they are asked to undertake.

— Kathryn Cooper, Head of Communications, Cannock Chase District Council

A fantastic day, much appreciated. A big success factor was Andrew’s experience, skill and style.

— Forest of Dean District Council

I now feel more skilled and confident to pro- and re-actively use the media to effectively promote the FPA and its activities. I came away enthused and more skilled and confident to tackle the “Jeremy Paxman’s” of the media world.

—Audrey Simpson, Director : N. Ireland, FPA (Family Planning Association)

Many thanks to you and to Moya for providing such a stimulating and constructive media workshop on May 13th. It was a very enjoyable and useful day for us all, and your style really was very appropriate in helping us to reflect on our performances and to pick up some good professional tips. Well done!

— Dr Ray Jones, Director of Social Services, Wiltshire County Council

We had some very good feedback from the members who had the training, and several have told me and others that they have put some of the learning into practice with positive results … do pass on my thanks to Andrew, who was an excellent trainer, as well as being a charming person (and I had that comment from several members, it’s not just my own view!).
— London Borough of Hounslow

I was a bit apprehensive about the training and being interviewed on camera, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Andrew made us all feel relaxed and I gained confidence in being interviewed. I now know how to prepare and take control of Media Interviews. Thank you.

— Joanna Margetts, Gwalia Housing Trust

We had a brilliant media training course today , as was expected. Andrew did a great job.

— Dr Nora Pashayan, EoE Public Health Training Programme

As I expected, Friday’s course received rave reviews so many thanks to both of you for the organisation and delivery. A special thanks to Andrew for an extremely professionally run course.

— Linda Pergande, Organisation Development, The Papworth Trust

Just a quick note to say how pleased we all were with the way the media training went yesterday with Andrew, who was absolutely charming and delivered an excellent session.

— Melanie Proudfoot (RBF) NOC

Having worked on the other side of the fence in journalism, when I was looking to book some media training for my colleagues in local government, I knew exactly what I was after and Media Friendly more than fulfilled the brief. Andrew Carapiet delivered two superb one day courses which resulted in fantastic feedback from each participant (12 in all). Much was learnt and as well as being extremely valuable, the day was enjoyed by all which is equally important – Andrew Carapiet is a real professional and is able to engage participants throughout every second of the day. I plan to run these courses through Media Friendly every year from now on.

—Jeanette Covington, Corporate Communications Manager, Malvern Hills District Council

Excellent day! It went incredibly fast. Andrew has a very easy style, yet professional and useful.

— Headteacher, Stockton

Just wanted to thank you – and Andrew – for the media training yesterday. It was much appreciated by our exec team, who commented on how much they had learned during the day, and how well it was presented.

— Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust

Everyone has really enjoyed the recent Media Training and PR Workshops, you are among the most flexible training providers and have the skills to tailor courses to our specific needs.

— Yorkshire Housing

An outstanding course, very well delivered by Andrew. One of the most enjoyable and rewarding courses I’ve been on in a while.

— Health Protection Agency

Please pass on my thanks to Andrew for an excellent training day, which seems to have gone down a storm with the staff involved. I look forward to a stampede next time a radio or TV interview opportunity comes up instead of watching everyone running away!

—Nicky Hoar, Communications Officer, Dorset Wildlife Trust

Absolutely excellent, inspiring and eye opening. Brilliant and enjoyable fun day – worth forfeiting my day off for today.
Brilliantly facilitated by Andrew.
