This online media training course is the result of more than 25 years of hands-on experience supporting top PR and media agencies. It brings together all the essential topics and proven techniques that have helped professionals succeed in real-world media situations for decades. The course is structured, complete, and easy to follow—covering everything from messaging and interviews to non-verbal communication, technology, and crisis awareness.

What sets this course apart is its practical, modular approach. You get the same comprehensive content you’d find in traditional agency-led media trainings, but in a format you can access anytime, anywhere, and at your own pace. There’s no need to schedule expensive, in-person sessions or coordinate with a full video crew. This makes the course affordable, flexible, and ideal for busy professionals who want to build their skills on their own terms.

While the lessons are presented by an AI avatar for clarity and consistency, the real value comes from the depth and breadth of the content—reflecting years of collaboration with senior consultants and international agencies. This course doesn’t replace the human touch of one-on-one coaching, but it does give you a thorough foundation and a complete overview of the field. It’s the perfect way to prepare for, or complement, more personalized training in the future.

Whether you’re looking for a standalone solution or a strong starting point before working with an agency, this course delivers real educational value, practical tools, and a flexible learning experience—at a fraction of the cost of traditional media training.

To your succes,
Kurt
