All radio presenter training is conducted by Sony Radio Academy Award winner Rod Lucas. Rod has over 40 years professional radio experience. He's very active in British National & local radio. He runs 4 stations. See his fantastic success rate at getting students real radio jobs in the industry. It's impressive ! No one does it like him. Rod says "I'm amazed at how man people who teach radio have never won a Broadcast Award or done much radio at all ! I'm not a teacher - I'm a dedicated Broadcaster with a deep passion for passing on this radio thing and getting new talent into radio presentation at all ages ". Having a Degree doesn't make you a great broadcaster ! It's bigger than that.

"I would happily recommend Rod Lucas and the Radio School. Before attending a Radio Presenting Training Course with Rod I had no radio experience. Expect a warm welcome and some intense training. I left with a demo which as a result I was offered a full time show within two months on 2 stations. Since then I now present my own show for one of the largest groups of stations in UK. I still send air checks to Rod to get some feedback.“ Contact Rod Lucas for booking interest.
