Broadcast Industry & Technology Intro
2 days (or 1 day abridged)
Overview
This 2 day Broadcast Training course is presented for a fixed price at your premises.
The schedule for the day has been put together to provide a cost effective way to address the often overlooked basics of the broadcast industry and its technology, whilst also having a positive impact on staff morale by encouraging back-office/admin staff to be included in the initial session(s).
A cut-down version of this course may be run for 1-day – please discuss what topics are important and we will endeavour to ensure appropriate coverage.
All sessions are presenter-led becoming progressively more technical in style.
As can be seen by the diagram, the first half-day is suitable for all staff and has been run successfully presented to larger groups (15-20 people) – though groups of this size feel more of a formal presentation style and limits discussion.
As the course gets more technical (beyond the first morning session) a maximum of 10 attendees is recommended to allow questions to be adequately addressed. Smaller groups are typically more effective in any training and this course can be run for as few as 2-3 people.
