Details
If you believe that your career is behind the microphone – as a Radio Presenter or Podcaster – you need to take this course.
This is a studio-based course, taught in Dublin, Ireland. The focus of this course is firmly on learning the skills that a Radio Presenter needs.
There are four modules. Module one is taught in an interactive tutorial style. The remaining modules are skills-based and are taught in-studio. You will spend most of your day in the studio, recording in different styles, and researching and conducting an interview.
You will graduate with a Demo Disc and a Certificate. The Demo Disc is your calling card for radio stations; it showcases your abilities to future employers. A well-written CV/resume is important for most careers, but a Demo Disc is vital to have for radio – it’s all about how you sound.
