Journalism Intro Training Course Reviews

"The course was excellent, I really enjoyed Helen's pace and style of teaching. She is very knowledgeable and what I really enjoyed was her friendly manner and interest in me as a person. We had a conversation at the beginning of the course on day two about my interests, plans and goals and this conversation was just as helpful to me as the course was."

"Helen was a great trainer! I was really impressed by her knowledge and understanding of the areas discussed. Both days were really engaging and covered a great range of topics with a number of breakout exercises. The small group size worked really well, and made the training feel more personable. Would 100% recommend to others with an interest in journalism!"
