Jason Collins from KFM, 8Radio and LMFM, upon completing the course said “A lot of people on our course said it was full on, intense and hard work but that’s exactly what’s needed to prepare you for working in Radio.”
A standout opportunity that the Radio Broadcasting Bootcamp also provides is the possibility of work placement in some of Ireland's top radio stations. Garrett Mullhall completed the course in 2016 and had this to say:
“You cannot fathom the valuable knowledge, experience that was given to all of us on the Presenters Bootcamp. Having the top professionals from the Irish Radio Industry mentor you on a daily basis is the most valuable education that anyone could wish for!”
“This is the best investment I’ve ever made in myself and my future career in Radio!”
Do what Garrett did, invest in yourself and your career, the holiday can wait!
