The National Broadcasting School launches “The Talent Project” at GMG Radio in Salford Quays
The NBS has today launched its first Talent Project programme which will be held at the studios of GMG Radio in Salford Quays from Saturday 28th November 2009.
The Talent Project is a weekend-only presenter training programme aimed at people who want to get into radio, and who previously haven’t had the time, money, or opportunity.
The project consists of 20 modules delivered over 10 weekends, which cover every aspect of the presenters’ art, from the basics to advanced presentation techniques. Priced at only £99 plus VAT per day, it is affordable and accessible, and will bring a new generation of talent onto Britain’s airwaves.
The programme will run over 10 weekends and then repeat itself. Students can complete the programme in any order over a two year period in order to gain their NBS Diploma. Each day includes a two hour presentation stint in one of GMG radios’ state-of-the-art studios. The training will be carried out by battle hardened industry professionals with many years experience.
Rory McLeod, Director and founder of the NBS said “This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to get into radio and television, and I’d like to thank GMG for allowing us unprecedented access to their fantastic facilities at Salford Quays. The Talent Project covers every aspect that our intensive one- month programme does, except you can now train at your convenience if you have a full time job, and it is now more affordable than ever because its structured and priced on a pay as you go basis. If this programme is a successful, as we think it will be, we’ll roll it out across the UK”
Andy Carter, Managing Director of GMG Radio Northwest said; “We’re really pleased to be able to partner the National Broadcasting School in this project to help new talent gain the skills they need to succeed with a career in radio. We know that the skills that candidates can develop on these courses can make the difference when it comes to an interview.”
