APPLICATIONS FOR AFTRS/CRA ONLINE COURSES

AFTRS has put out a reminder that applications are closing soon for the five online courses for commercial radio staff nationally, run on behalf of Commercial Radio Australia.

These courses run based on achieving minimum numbers and AFTRS Director Radio, Mark Collier, says “we’re not there yet with minimum course numbers and have extended the closing date for applications”.

The legendary Commercial Radio Programming course has been rewritten for 2012 to reflect current and future industry thinking and needs. It includes a three day residential at AFTRS in May attended by industry luminaries, offering a unique opportunity for course participants to hear the candid thoughts of current and potential employers, and to meet and engage with them. Applications for the course close on Monday 13 February, the course commences a week later.

AFTRS also offers four online, CRA courses aimed at better equipping staff to assist clients and drive station revenue. Applications for the Introduction to Radio Sales, Strategic Radio Sales, Sales Management and Creative Craft of Copywriting courses close on Monday 6 February with commencement also a week later.

Participants for all courses work online and hook-up for an hour fortnightly on a Skype group call, chaired by an industry expert in each specialised field.
