Even so, let's first be sure that you are on the right track and will gain benefit from this training. Before you waste any time or effort chasing illusions, or participate in training programmes which may mislead you, you should test whether you really want to develop yourself in this area. I believe that credible training providers should be prepared to let you test their programmes for suitability before you buy. The Reality of Professional Broadcasting The problem with training people for a career in broadcasting is that much of the important instruction will not be in areas that you may think are important. For instance, most people believe that real broadcast training cannot be accomplished at all without the provision of a broadcast studio.
Some providers make studio operation their major or sole focus for training.
This should be a warning sign. Such providers are likely to be preying on your illusions of the art and not providing the real focus. The reality is that most of the development will need to take place outside the studio. In fact, unless you have well-developed skills in Broadcast Communication , Script Interpretation , Programme Structure and Programme Content , you can do little with the broadcast studio apart from use it as an elaborate stereo. Broadcast Communication is the core subject of all of The Radio School Australia's training programmes and is the pre-requisite for the majority of subjects in the Diploma of Commercial Radio Announcing .
