Radio Presenter Training

The "Advanced Radio Presenting" course will give you firm grounding in the essential skills required to be a successful radio presenter.

This intensive course is designed both for those people who are just getting started in the industry, and for those who have some experience and want to refine their skills and understanding.

Held over two days, you'll spend an equal amount of time discussing the various aspects of radio presenting and practising these aspects in our radio studio in West London.

Subjects covered include planning a show, playing music, links and scripts, interviews and working with guests. You'll learn the 10 Golden Rules for radio presenters.

Plus you'll receive vocal coaching, learn studio technical skills, and get an overview of the legal essentials you need to know.

At the end you'll get the opportunity to present your own one hour music and phone-in programme and read a news bulletin. We try to make this as real as possible, with music, jingles and ad breaks, so that you really get a feel of what it's like to be a radio presenter.
