Presenter Training

What is presenter training?
WOWfm trains prospective presenters on Community Broadcasting Association of Australia codes of practice, WOWfm station guidelines and operating procedures, WOWfm licensing requirements and the skills to develop and present a radio program.

Do I need to have any background in radio or broadcasting?
No. The presenter training will provide all of the skills and knowledge you need to present a fantastic program.

When does presenter training take place?
Training takes place two to three times per year based on interest of potential presenters. Visit this page for updates regarding the scheduled dates.

Training is for six hours. It takes place on two consecutive Sundays, three hours per day. Following the classroom training, our trainers will schedule time with you to practice working the board and presenting a program at the studio. The length of time for this hands-on training varies by trainee; we will work with you until you are comfortable presenting on your own.
