A total of 8 Muballigheen from Europe, and 1 from USA, attended the course. Also in attendance was the treasurer of The World Federation, al-Hajj Azad bhai Kanani.
The content of the course included interview skills for both radio and television, the impact of legislation, broadcasting an Islamic radio programme, press releases, and understanding the agendas behind an interview.

The Honorary Treasurer, Azad bhai Kanani commented, "This second CPD course shows excellent progress for the structured development of the Zakireen and Muballigheen of our community. This process will inshallah go hand in hand with the Muballigheen Training Programme that starts in Syria in September 2007. I commend the Muballigheen for taking such a keen participation in these events. The training by both Alex and sister Ummul Banin was extremely useful. I am sure we all feel more confident now when faced with a media interview."
Munawer Rattansey, President of CoEJ commented , "This course shows the tremendous development undertaken recently to develop the zakireen and Mualligheen of our community. The feedback received from the participants was extremely positive. They felt that the course was tailor-made for their needs and equipped them with invaluable skills in being able to deal with the Media"
