What students say about our Radio
Training and how we help get people into radio jobs.
"After doing a 3 day
course in January, I was asked to do some guest
spots and co presenting shows on Diversity 103.5FM
in Lancaster. Shortly after I was invited by the BBC
Radio Lancashire, in Blackburn to do a 2 week work
placement. I worked with various production teams and
was a guest on the Ladies at Lunch panel show. I have now been offered a
regular slot on Bolton FM.
In the meantime
Diversity FM have asked me to do a Tuesday morning
show about the local area and its people. Thank
you for all your help and encouragement Rod. I never
thought I would get this far. Look forward to seeing
you again for some more training. Regards Karen
Davey".

penny. Richard White. Feb 2009."

"I
would happily recommend Rod Lucas and the Radio School. Before
attending a Radio Presenting Training Course with Rod I had no
radio experience. Expect a warm welcome and some intense
training. I left with a demo which as a result I was offered a
full time show within two months on 2 stations. Since then I now present my
own show for one of the largest groups of stations in UK. I
still send air checks to Rod to get some feedback.“
