THE EXPERIENCE
The ABM Radio School is the Australian finishing school for radio professionals. Got your degree and don’t know how to get into the industry? Got lots of talent and want to shortcut the degree? We can offer you advanced training and guaranteed real commercial experience in the industry at our digital studios based in Bondi. Working on community radio is great experience and a lot of stations around Sydney may put you on air after a long wait. Prospective employers however know that community radio, despite all the best intentions in the world, just does not come up to the professional standards of commercial radio and that very often experience on it can sometimes even encourage or develop very bad habits that make you completely unemployable in commercial radio.
THE TRAINING
ABM is a commercial network which means the time you spend attending our training school goes on your resume as time spent on-air in the commercial radio sector. The training course runs over a six month period combining face to face teaching, personal mentoring, a structured training syllabus and extensive time on air. Commercial Radio revolves around a disciplined approach to a consistent product, so the ABM Radio School is not for everyone. We accept a limited number of enrollments via audition during each 6 month period and you will be working among our various Stations’ regular professional announcers. You will be working under commercial conditions: State of the art studio on-air Assist, Play listed Music, Commercial inventory.
