Radio Presenter Training - Radio DJ Courses

Your one-to-one radio presenter training (along with our other radio training courses) takes place on a broadcast system previously used for outside broadcasts and as a backup facility by a full-time commercial radio station.

With our radio presenter training workshop, you'll receive around thirty pages of training notes/practice props and a certificate of attendance. If you like, we'll also email you some weather and travel jingles, for you to do further practice script reading, at home. You can also opt to receive a professionally produced demo, within around seven days. All weaved together by our Radio Demo Editor, Steve Joy, who has bags of radio presenter experience.

We have close contact with a network of professionals, within the UK and European radio industry, who may want to hear from you, after using our services!

Our training modules are constantly accessed, to ensure that they are reflecting the current thinking of the UK radio industry. We want you to achieve your goal!

Our training days can be intensive. But, we believe that we offer real value for money in these difficult times. We don't try to 'spin out' over several days, what can be achieved in one (sometimes longish!) day. But, remember - we work at your pace, to ease any pressure. If you are still with us at 9pm - no problem and no extra charge. We are pretty unique in this working. That's why 'Radio Today' owner, Roy Martin, recommends us!

So, you want to work in radio! Or, perhaps, you already work on radio, but want to improve your skills.

Either way, The Radio Surgery offers you high quality radio presenter training courses that reflect the thinking of today's radio industry. Delivered by seasoned UK radio professionals.

Learn how to structure a radio show, prepare good show content, make your content relevant to the listener, keep your listeners hooked for longer, what makes a great demo... and loads more!

With our one-to-one radio presenter training course, we work with the individual client, at their own pace. So, you won't get kicked out at 5pm! One price... an open-ended (one-day) duration. That's what makes us pretty unique!

If you'd like to hear what our past clients have to say, just check out our testimonials. Oh! Don't forget our other services, such as demo (show reel) production, radio journalism, digital editing and more.

Over the years, we've helped people with either little or no radio experience make that first step onto the ladder. Others have already been working in radio, but wanted to brush up their skills.

You may be a pub or nightclub DJ, working on hospital or community radio, or have never touched a mixing desk in your life! Whichever, we can help you learn the skills that make good radio presentation, by coming along to one of our radio presenter training courses. Skills that will not only help you get work in radio, but keep it. Remember, once you have got a gig, there will be hundreds wanting to take your place! Our radio broadcasting courses will show you just what is deemed by the industry professionals as making good radio, the do's and don'ts, interviewing and script reading skills. Plus a whole lot more, all packaged into one day. It's intensive, it's fun .... it's a positive step in developing your radio career.

The one-to-one, one-day, session is tailored to your needs and effectively run as a radio presenter training workshop. So if you already know how a mixer operates, we spend more time on other matters.

Our training notes have been given the thumbs up by radio presenters independent of The Radio Surgery. People that have worked on a host of UK and overseas radio stations.

I learnt so much more than I imagined. The guidance is priceless. Even if you have some radio experience, The Radio Surgery course helps you with vital key skills and allows you to work on your own ideas for show content. But, they will also advise you if they think your ideas are not quite right. I am really pleased with the demo mix and also the comments that Steve made. Thanks very much. I will definitely stay in touch!

You may have typed in 'radio dj courses' on your search... But remember, radio stations are looking for presenters, not DJ's! They are looking for someone who can not only play the songs, but string them together with something that forms an emotive link with the listener.

If you are the type of person who always has something to say, can chat about a host of subjects, are the sort of person that people would like to have a natter with at the pub, or around the work coffee machine... you're on the right road! Even if you're a bit reserved, our radio presenter training course is designed to look at both your weak and strong areas. So, we'll try and help you overcome any issues.

It's easy to look on the web for radio presentation tips, but the best way to move forward is through face-to-face coaching.

I just want to thank you for a great day. The course was thoroughly enjoyable, well set out and easy to follow. Your no pressure approach was very refreshing to see and experience. I learned a lot in such a short time and I believe that it will be invaluable for years to come. Just to let you know that Awaz FM, in Glasgow, have offered me the breakfast show...

DOING OUR BIT FOR CHARITY

Congratulations and a big thank you to Darryl Fraser!

Darryl bid �140 for a one-to-one radio presenter training course in a 2BR annual charity auction.

His money will go to help the Pendleside Hospice and other local charities.

"Thanks for a great day", says Jason Hargraves.

Jason bid for one of our radio courses in an auction, to raise money for the mayor of Burnley's charity appeal.

The mayor himself was almost tempted to come along and 'have a go!'

Jason bid �60 and so bagged himself a bargain and at the same time helped a number of charities.
