TESTIMONIALS

This is what some of our graduates have said about the course:

ROBERT HATCH (ENGLAND) Freelance Journalist
Class 2006-2007

I have always harboured an extremely strong interest in sport, and when the opportunity arose to do the Eurosport Masters I grabbed it with both hands! I has plenty of experience in working with languages before undertaking this course, but little journalistic experience – that’s where the Masters has really changed things. I would seriously recommend this course to anyone with an appetite for sport, the opportunities arising as a result are endless!"

ALESSANDRO FORESTI (ITALY) Jounalist
Class 2006-2007

As a former financial tv journalist with no experience in sports reporting, following the Eurosport Master Program has given me a real chance to improve my skills in this sector. I particularly enjoyed the multidisciplinary aspect of the subjects and its practical training."

JULIO GOMES (BRAZIL) European correspondent for Bandeirantes TV (Brazil)
Class 2003-2004

I am currently established in Spain working for the Brazilian Bandeirantes TV as their correspondent in Europe. The theoretical part of the Master was very wide. We learnt everything about television production, from filming to editing, which has helped me to get the job I currently have. Besides I have to say that being in a city like Madrid with several foreign colleagues was a lot of fun and a unique experience."

ARNOULD MONTGAULT (FRANCE) Freelance producer for Eurosport International
Class 2003-2004

When I began the Eurosport Masters, I had precious little practical journalism experience. Eurosport professors were actually working journalists with extensive knowledge about how the business actually works. My training at Eurosport proved invaluable and taught me the basic principals that allowed me to then launch a career."

GEORGE MEREDITH (ENGLAND) British Eurosport Assistant Producer
Class 2002-2003

The Eurosport masters was a great experience which provided me with a solid foundation from which to pursue my career in the industry. The course in Madrid covered many different aspects of journalism and I learnt some valuable skills which I was then able to put into practice during my placement at British Eurosport."

GILES MCLEOD (ENGLAND) Freelance journalist for “Talksport”, “Four Four Two”…
Class 2002-2003

The course really was worth doing! The expertise passed on by Eurosport Spain Chief Commentator Javier Rubio was priceless, and the Online teacher Paul Martin was also top class. You couldn't ask to be taught by a nicer or more talented group of people."

SOPHIE NICHOLSON (SCOTLAND) Assistant Producer for STV
Class 2002 – 2003

Giving up a job in London and joining the Eurosport Masters seemed to be a big gamble, but it is one that has definitely paid off. The course provided me with a good all round knowledge of the many different spheres of sports journalism and opened my eyes to the world of television production. I have no doubt that the experiences both studying and working with Eurosport were invaluable in helping me get to where I am today."

JAMES BUDDELL, (ENGLAND), Eurosport Tennis Editor, Paris.
Class 2001-2002

The Madrid course developed my existing journalism skills and taught me about how to adjust to different cultures and methods of working. Therefore, when I arrived in Paris, I had a newfound confidence. I have become highly sought-after as a result, and, having worked as a tennis producer, scriptwriter, editor and writer, I truly consider myself a multimedia journalist."

BOGDAN HONCIU, (RUMANIA), Executive Producer TVR
Class 2000-2001

Having Eurosport on my CV has opened doors to me in the audiovisual market. I've worked in Atomic TV as a Production Director, as an executive producer in a daily program called “Journal Academic” and now, I'm the executive producer of a program in Rumanian Nacional Television. I found the course has helped me immensely with my career as it helped me get a management position."

MICHELE SEGURA, (FRANCE), Eurosportnews Head Editor in Paris
Class 2000-2001

My 8 months in Spain were just what I needed. It gave me time to gain confidence, to glean some understanding of how television operates and learn to write to deadline. The day after finishing my training period I was offered a job as an editor in Eurosportnews in Paris and a few months ago I was promoted to Head Editor of my section… Not bad!"

RUBÉN FERNÁNDEZ, (SPAIN), Commentator for Eurosport Spain.
Class 1999-2000

I have always wanted to become a sports commentator. We studied in Madrid for 6 months and the course fulfilled by far my best expectations. I trained in Paris, rotating through different departments that helped me out to get an overall view of how a television channel operates. I got a job later on as a news journalist and commentator of Luge, Boxing, and Football in Eurosport Spain. Thanks so much, the course it´s really paying off!!"
