I./ Media training

• These courses provide an overall understanding of the nature, structure and methodology of Hungarian and international media.
• Participants prepare for appearing in print, electronic and new media successfully using personal development techniques.
• Through simulating media situations, participants learn how to use the techniques learnt at the training and as a result they understand basic media genres.
• Training takes place in a TV studio, where participants can watch the recorded version of their own performance and try as many times as they need in order to reach the best results.
