Stepping in front of a camera to address journalists requires more than just subject matter expertise; it demands a mastery of narrative control, body language, and the ability to pivot during high-stakes questioning. This programme is designed to transform researchers, administrators, and spokespeople into credible, persuasive communicators who can deliver a clear message even under the pressure of a live interview.

The training moves away from abstract theory, focusing instead on the practical mechanics of media engagement. Participants work directly with their own professional materials and case histories, ensuring that every exercise—from crafting the perfect one-liner to managing non-verbal cues—is immediately applicable to their real-world communication challenges.

Tailor-Made Delivery

Because every professional's needs differ, the programme begins with an intake interview to determine the scope, duration, and format of your training. Whether you require a short, intensive workshop for a team or a one-on-one coaching session, the delivery is fully customized. Instruction can be facilitated at Wageningen University's premises, in-company, or through a hybrid online model, ensuring the curriculum remains relevant to your specific institutional or research environment.
