Do you have personnel at your station that could benefit from learning more about the technical side of broadcasting? Announcers, production, master control operators, IT managers, even station managers can gain valuable knowledge about why we have all that “stuff” in the equipment rack and the basics of how it works.

The ABA Engineering Academy offers two separate five day courses covering Radio and Television Broadcast Engineering. In addition to personnel at your station there are probably others in the community that have shown an interest in getting into broadcasting.

While the classes are designed for those with minimal or no technical experience, seasoned engineers have also attended for a refresher course as well as picking up needed information about new technology.

The Engineering Academy is an excellent way for those in your organization to become more familiar with the “technical side” of broadcasting, creating a much more efficient and valuable employee.
Best of all the Alabama Broadcasters Association offers these classes at no cost to the students.

The first Radio class is February 10th – 14th, and the Television class is March 3rd – 7th.

Contact Larry Wilkins to sign up or get more information. All classes are held at the ABA Engineering Training Center 2180 Parkway Lake Drive in Hoover, AL.
