I had the pleasure of training with Paul at the broadcast institute. I had a brilliant few days. Paul was so relaxed, really encouraging and brilliant to be around. I received a lot of positive and constructive appraisal from my time with Paul. He was brilliant to work with. He gave us a great insight to what it would be like in the world of Broadcasting and made us feel so secure in the knowledge that we all had a place there in our own unique way. What I loved was meeting people of all different backgrounds who wanted to step out of their own comfort zones and improve their skill sets when speaking in front of a camera. Definitely not an easy thing to do but with Paul's expertise and guidance it made it so much easier. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to push the boundaries and grow as an individual.

I had the pleasure of attending Paul's four day course in January 2023. I was blown away by his insights, professionalism and accessibility. He was very engaging and approachable - no questions were deemed to be silly or out of place. I got a lot out of it and think the entire group's needs were catered for. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to start their presenting journey or even for fine tuning existing skills.

I had the pleasure of attending Paul Connolly’s TV & Social Media and Presenting Masterclass last January. Paul was an excellent instructor who met us all at our levels of comfort during the course. He gently encouraged us to try different presenting methods through fun and interactive tasks where we ended up finding our own unique presenting styles. Paul helped me find my own voice and confidence as a presenter. I am very grateful for the priceless wisdom I got from this course, giving me skills that will be an asset to me in both my professional and personal life. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in presenting of any kind – TV, podcasts, social media. You will make great friends and leave with a new-found love for presenting! Go raibh míle maith agaibh, The Broadcast Institute, tá mé fíorbhuíoch!

August gone, my life changed thanks to The Broadcast Institute. I did a three day course inTV presenting. It was the best thing I’d ever done. I learnt life skills such as how to interview people and how to talk clearly and with confidence to camera. I have confidence thanks to Paul Connolly. I set up my own podcast on Spotify, where I interview well-knowing personalities. I really enjoyed the course, I also made friends for life. So if you're thinking of getting trained up in broadcasting, do it! You won't regret it.

Recently I had the pleasure of partaking in Paul's course 'Interviewing Skills for Radio'. One of the best courses I've ever taken, Paul gave us a deep dive into his career as a producer, presenter by way of practical tips, hints and explaining the common pitfalls of the unprepared or unlucky interviewer. A lot of the time media courses can be history or theory heavy but this was 50 percent practical and had everyone thoroughly engaged the whole way through. Personally I came away having learned a lot and feeling empowered in my own interviewing style. To someone considering using Paul Connolly for media training I would absolutely recommend him. He has a lovely, warm style, replete with anecdotes and a wealth of experience learned first hand. Excellent training and trainer.

I absolutely loved the course! It was great to get the practical experience in presenting for television, and also to receive personalised guidance and feedback from a professional. I've come away from the course confident in my abilities and excited to pursue it as a career!

We attended the TV presenter course with Paul in November 2021. The course was everything we hoped it would be and more! Throughout the course we learned many different aspects and types of presenting to camera - from live reporting, working with a teleprompter and interview techniques to name but a few. We left the course with a new found confidence and we would highly recommend this course for anyone interested in working in front of a camera! Paul is one of the best in the business and a genuinely nice guy!

It's not over the top to say that Paul Connolly is quite simply the best trainer I've had the pleasure of working with. It's very rare you come across someone with the broadcasting chops, the natural affinity for people, and the desire to actually help others, and Paul is all of these and more. Whether you're starting on your journey to the small screen, or you're just looking to refresh or hone your skills, Paul has the experience and the knowledge to help you achieve your goals.

​The course was great, very enjoyable. Paul expertly guided us through many exercises which were challenging and fun too. We got to practice many techniques, including teleprompting and improvisation. There was no other way but to be thrown in at the deep end and Paul was always so supportive so we felt safe to give it our all. Never a dull moment.

​I began the course with blocks I have had over the last 10 years in my own professional and personal development around the area of professional speaking, TV presenting and my own brand identity. clarity came like a huge lightbulb moment and I am so grateful that the space provided by Paul physically, educationally and metaphorically allowed me to get the clarity that I’ve been searching for, for a very long time.
