Frequently asked questions

Is this Podcasting Introduction course suitable for me?

This course is designed for people who are new to podcasting or have been making podcasts for a while but have never had formal training or who would like to learn best practice in the fundamentals of podcasting.

Should I attend the Podcasting Introduction course in person or live online?

For in-person courses at our London training centre, you will receive a warm personal welcome, your choice of the latest Mac or PC and morning and afternoon refreshments. If you prefer to attend remotely, rest assured that you will be taught live by the same experts that deliver our in-person courses, covering the same training content, using the same exercises and materials. A second monitor is recommended but not essential.

How is the content taught throughout the Podcasting Introduction course?

Our Podcasting Introduction course is extremely practical. You will be working through examples and live projects all day, under the guidance of our trainer, who is ex-BBC and has a huge amount of professional experience. They will support you fully through each step of the podcasting process.

What support is available after I attend the Podcasting Introduction course?

We offer ongoing support to our Podcasting Introduction course attendees through email and by arrangement, phone calls. You are welcome to ask any questions on topics covered during training. Our trainer will always do their best to explain principles and help you with any issues you encounter.

How many people are likely to be in the class when I attend the Podcasting Introduction course?

We have the smallest class sizes in the industry. On average there are 2 to 3 people on our Podcasting Introduction public courses. When we are oversubscribed, rather than put more people on the same course, we open up a new course date, which ensures everyone has maximum interaction with our trainer and the chance to ask questions throughout the day.

Will I receive a certificate upon completion of my Podcasting Introduction course?

Yes, you'll receive a certificate of completion from Transmedia, demonstrating your knowledge and attendance on our Podcasting Introduction course. Our certificates note our Authorised Training Centre status.
