April 2018 Radio Training Course
The JOY Radio Training course provides radio broadcast training covering areas like on-air presentation, interviewing techniques, studio operation, media law, digital editing and loads more. Graduates obtain skills, knowledge and expert guidance that allows them to independently create and deliver great radio with confidence.
The training course runs over eight weeks with each session 4 hours. Training takes place at JOY 94.9 studios in Melbourne and is conducted by some of our most talented and experienced broadcasters.
