Testimonials

Our participants come from Cooperative Research Centres, R&D corporations, CSIRO, non-government organisations, universities, industry and government departments.

Here are some comments about our workshops from managers, group leaders and participants:

“The trainers were very familiar with R&D and CSIRO by direct experience and the journalists were 'locals' and very familiar with our 'stories'. A very useful, challenging, rewarding and enjoyable day.”

“This course was highly beneficial in two important ways:

1. Brushing up on my media skills & getting back to basics &

2. Helping GRDC researchers increase their understanding of the media & how it can assist in communicating messages & how they can use me more effectively in GRDC. Toss & Jenni are always professional, insightful & informative.”
