Academies and Other Initiatives

There are three relevant radio academies that are linked to the commercial radio industry, which all play different roles. It is worthwhile having a understanding of each one in order to make the most of the opportunities that they might be able to provide. 

Other great initiatives for the industry include the Young Audio Awards and Creative Access, see more information here.

Bauer Academy

The Bauer Academy is a government registered training provider with the Skills Funding Agency and delivers AIM Award qualifications, providing multimedia training at 22 sites across the UK.

Global Academy

The Global Academy is a University Technical College (UTC), providing education to 15-18 year olds. Global recognises that it is crucial to equip students with the proper technical, business and creative skills they need to work in the broadcast and digital media industry, and to help them connect their core studies with vocational skills in a practical and entrepreneurial way.

The Radio Academy

The Radio Academy offers opportunities for individuals working and interested in the radio sector, which allows for networking and connecting with peers.  The Radio Academy runs a series of national and regional events, including the ARIAS (the audio and radio industry awards), as well as Radio Festival. 

Creative Access

Creative Access fills a gap in the current creative landscape by helping young people from black, Asian and other non-white minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, as well as those with a lower socioeconomic status (SES), to secure paid training opportunities in creative companies, and supporting them into full-time employment.

The Young Audio Awards

Get recognised for your work and build your technical skills. The Young Audio Awards are the new awards for 8 to 18 year olds and schools who love making audio. If you’re involved in radio, podcasts or audio projects, then we want to shine a spotlight on your talent.
