OVERVIEW

Our one-day podcast training course can be tailored to your individual needs.

We come to your workplace to deliver the course.

We also have a more in-depth two-day course that includes hands-on podcast creation.

However, our typical day-long course lasts six to seven hours. The morning consists of two hours of shorter sessions designed to get you prepared for creating a podcast. The afternoon session is a little longer, and goes into how to edit your audio and put the final product together.

Importantly, there are practical tips throughout the sessions to ensure your podcast is the best it can be. And it is also realistic.

Our course is designed to get you up and running no matter what your budget is, and whether your target audience is 50 people or 1 million. It doesn’t fill you with promise of a huge audience. It doesn’t recommend you purchase things you don’t need.

We can help you put together a podcast designed for an internal company audience, your clients, or the general public. Our practical course shows you the potential hurdles, and how to jump over them.

We can also expand the course to two days, with the second day dedicated to hands-on practical sessions with participants producing their own mini-podcast episode, from doing an interview, to editing it for distribution.

Best of all, we come to you to present the training in your own facility, rather than learning online, or having to go to an inconveniently-located training centre, where you may learn alongside people from other companies or individuals, all of whom have different goals and needs.

After the course, it’s not thank you and goodbye – we are always available to help with questions that may arise once you get started. Think of it as your podcast tech support.
