Feature Writing Training Course Reviews

"Really interesting, inspiring and helpful with feedback."

"Piers was very knowledgeable and gave a great mix of information, top tips, feedback and challenging exercises to test me throughout the day. I found that way of learning perfect - it helped me to learn a lot and to pose me a number of thoughts for when I do feature writing from now on. The course will certainly help me in my role in the future. I'm also very grateful for the flexibility of the course organisers ensuring that the course could be done via Zoom rather than having to travel to and from London for the day . Everybody at Media Training have been brilliant throughout, and I look forward to hopefully signing up for another one of your courses in the future :)"

"The lunch was fab and the refreshments - very thoughtful addition of non-diary milk and two varieties, too. Really enjoyed the course. I have taken many courses, including feature writing, storytelling, etc with other providers in London, but I have to say I enjoyed today's the most.
