About the course

Develop the skills needed to create, produce and present radio content. Delivered in partnership with local community radio station Mix 92.6FM, the course provides an introduction to the UK radio industry, radio formats, broadcast journalism and professional production practices. You will explore how radio programmes are researched, planned and produced while gaining an understanding of media law, regulation, ethics and health and safety requirements. Through a combination of workshops and hands-on studio experience, learners will develop skills in scriptwriting, presenting, interviewing, sound recording and audio editing using industry-standard equipment and software, including Adobe Audition. Practical activities include operating a radio/podcast desk, gathering and editing audio content, producing a local radio news bulletin and developing content for broadcast. By the end of the course, learners will have produced and presented a radio news bulletin and contributed to the creation of a live magazine-style radio programme. You will leave with an understanding of professional radio production workflows and the skills required for volunteering, employment, freelance content creation or progression to further study
