Considering a Course?
Considering whether you would like to do a course or not? You may want to listen to some of the audio from Foot in the Door at the Radio Festival, where speakers were quizzed about how they got in, and whether doing a course is required or not.
If you decide a course is for you, the Radio Academy has compiled the only Radio Course Directory in the UK just for you and it will be available here soon!
In the meantime, here are a selection of starter radio courses:
