Training - winter/spring 2010

We are proud to present the latest set of Preston FM radio production courses. The courses are designed for people new to Preston FM and give you the chance to learn all about community radio - from the knobs and buttons in the studio, through to how to prepare and present an interesting radio programme.

Once you've completed the course, you can then continue to volunteer with Preston FM (if you want to) as a regular presenter, community journalist, production role or in some other way. All courses are free, and we can cover travel and childcare expenses whilst you're volunteering with us in most circumstances.

There are three courses to choose from - all cover the same content, but at different times:

  • Tuesdays & Wednesdays, 11am-2pm, for four weeks, starting Tue 9th Feb (deadline for applications: Friday 29th January)
  • Mondays & Tuesdays, 6:30-9:30pm, for four weeks, starting Mon 8th Mar (deadline for applications: Friday 19th February)
  • Community Radio “boot camp” intensive course across the Easter weekend (Fri 2nd, Sat 3rd and Sun 4th Apr, 10am-5pm each day) (deadline for applications: Friday 12th March)
