SMART objectives for media training

Those delivering media training need to focus on SMART objectives, which are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound.

Training of Trainers (ToT) courses are designed to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to train others.

Evaluation, impact, and assessment

Training should always be judged by its effectiveness, and there are several tools for measuring success.

The qualities required for media training

A trainer must not shout at participants or get into loud arguments. They must not make those attending their courses feel small or humiliate them.

International media training

Those invited to help the media overseas need to ensure that the training they offer is continually refreshed in order to stay relevant and useful.

Developing the potential of your staff

Media training is about investing in people - your staff. They are your most precious resource.

What it takes to be a media trainer

Media trainers must have recent, valid experience of all they teach. They will not earn the respect of course participants if they can't relate to the issues they face.
