The Training:

Even if you have never presented a programme before you’ll find the course fun and informative and full of hands on experience. (places on each course are limited to ensure everyone gets plenty of hands on experience). You will also be invited to our Advanced Courses later in the year (optional) which will involve doing shows on a fully operational online Radio Station.
