Technical training delivered in virtual and classroom settings
We provide training specifically aimed at broadcast and media companies. We have standard courses we can provide at short notice. We can also prepare and deliver bespoke training courses to suit specific requirements. Our training courses can be delivered on premises, in a classroom setting or from our online virtual training centre.
Once we know your training requirements we work with you to agree the training content, format and dates. Our standard training packages can be delivered at short notice whilst bespoke courses will depend on your requirements. We can carry out classroom-based training at your premises. Alternatively, we can organise a suitable training venue. For on-line classes we use our Callbridge video conferencing system which includes sophisticated functionality to augment your online training experience.
We use experienced trainers who are also industry practitioners. This means that our training material is based on real scenarios that we encounter in our day to day work. The training is therefore practical and relevant.
We also get great feedback from our attendees:
“One of the best course I have attended”
“The quality of the online materials and Jonathan’s knowledge and delivery overcame any remote learning disadvantages”
“The trainer took time to understand the needs of our company and adapt the course to suit our needs”
We offer standard and bespoke training. Our standard training packages cover all the essentials, with material prepared and ready to disseminate. Our bespoke courses offer tailor-made training to suit your specific situation.
We run online, virtual classroom training which is ideal for shorter courses when delegates are in different locations or during lockdown periods. Our trainers can also come to your premises to engage with your delegates in person.
We also take a flexible approach to scheduling our courses and can split courses over several sessions if preferred. For example, our two-day courses can be scheduled for four separate half days, with half a day a week over four weeks. This flexibility enables training to be scheduled around existing work commitments.

We also offer bespoke training solutions. If none of our standard training packages are suitable, we work with our customers to identify their training needs and curate courses that match their requirements. Please contact us to discuss your requirements connect@hawkmediapartnership.com
Using our experience as industry practitioners and our expertise as trainers, we are able to assess capability gaps and match that to training requirements. In addition, because we are focused entirely on the broadcast and media industry, we understand the common challenges associated with production, content management and distribution.
"We approached Jonathan to work with us to tailor a training package to our specific requirements. We needed a hands on course to teach both the technical and non-technical aspects of broadcast media and IP delivery. Jonathan has a proven track record as a trainer and in depth experience of the industry. His enthusiasm for the subject material resulted in a memorable and enjoyable course."

In January 2022 the World Teleport Association published their paper on best practice in control room design and operation. Titled ‘Build a Better NOC’, the report explores best practices for strengthening and improving one of the most critical elements of operational and customer support, the Network Operations Center (NOC).
The report was researched and written by Angus Blackwood. In this exclusive World Teleport Association webinar, Angus can be heard speaking about the research findings.
During this interview you’ll hear Angus talking about how Hawk helps its clients, the range of skills and experience available in the Hawk team and typical projects that Hawk leads for its clients.
During this interview you’ll hear how Ben has developed his broadcast network over the years, how he found the process of authoring books in different formats and his thoughts on what makes us happy with the work that we do and why.
