We encourage you to take advantage of these educational opportunities, plus share with others at your station and in your community, that wish to learn more about the technical side of broadcasting. To register online click here.

Our goal at the Academy is to aid the development of new engineers for the industry along with offering continuing educational opportunities for all engineers.

The class is offered by the ABA Engineering Academy at no cost. Should the student desire to take the SBE Certification exam there will be a charge for the test. It is not required to take the exam to attend the classes.

Classes are held at the ABA training center 2180 Parkway Lake Drive, Hoover AL.
