Radio Broadcasting Schools in Chicago

Your broadcasting career starts in your favorite Chicago radio station

Looking for radio broadcasting schools in Chicago?

If so, know that there are two distinct types of radio broadcasting schools in Chicago.

One is the traditional brick and mortar kind of radio broadcasting school, and the other is a hands-on apprenticeship broadcasting program, where you work side-by-side with an actual, real professional radio broadcaster at the radio station of your choice.

What are traditional brick and mortar radio broadcasting schools in Chicago?

Typically, brick and mortar broadcasting schools are buildings that stand alone, far apart from the actual broadcasting industry. In which case you either commute to a broadcasting school in Chicago, or you relocate to Chicago.

If neither works for you, then you'd be out of luck and your career in broadcasting would have to wait!

But, if you do live close enough to Chicago, and enjoy training in a traditional classroom setting that involves hours of lectures and note-taking, then brick and mortar radio broadcasting schools in Chicago may be your ticket.

The one real disadvantage being the rigid classroom schedule, around which you'd have to set your personal schedule. But then, that's par for the traditional classroom learning environment.

The Apprenticeship Model: Another kind of radio broadcasting school in Chicago

If your learning style is more hands-on, then you will definitely benefit from an apprenticeship offered by our award-winning Broadcasters Mentoring Group. In fact, our one-on-one types of trainees tend to do very well with our broadcasting apprenticeships in Chicago.

If any of this piques your interest, we can help! We can take your radio broadcasting career from up in the air, to on the air. Here's how: We set you up with a working professional broadcaster in Chicago, at the radio station of your choice, to train directly with them, one-on-one.

You see, radio broadcasting apprenticeships ARE broadcasting schools. Your chosen radio station in Chicago becomes your very own radio broadcasting school classroom. That means no matter where you're located, your career in radio broadcasting begins now!

Oh, and did we mention that along with the hands-on training at your favorite local radio station, you'll be building important contacts in the industry from day one?
