Radio Training

Are you interested in being a presenter?

We run radio training courses at our studios in Hadfield for people interested in becoming presenters on North West FM.

Our next training course starts on Saturday 8 November 2025.

Training runs for 3 days, over 2 weekends. Fill in the application form at the bottom of this page if you are interested in attending.

Training will cover:

  • laws governing radio broadcasting (such as defamation and codes of practice)
  • what it means to be a part of our station, our rules and how we work together
  • writing and presenting a program
  • hands-on lessons in using the studio, panels and microphone techniques
  • topics about community radio, techniques and our station

After the training, you will be mentored by an on-air presenter to give you further radio experience. The presenter will tell the committee when you have shown you are ready to do your own show.
