Testimonials

It was really great to meet everyone and try out some new things. I spoke about it at length in an interview with a perspective university who loved what I did with the Gaydio Academy and wanted to know more. Aced the interview and they then gave me a unconditional offer on the spot! So I’ll be on the broadcast journalism masters at City Uni from September! Thanks again!

Joining the Gaydio Academy was a transformative experience. From the moment I stepped into the studio, I felt welcomed and inspired. The course content was comprehensive, covering everything from the fundamentals of radio broadcasting to techniques in digital audio production. The courses were incredibly well-structured, and the resources provided were invaluable.

This course has inspired a feeling of confidence and motivation that I have not felt for a long time. The Gaydio Academy differs from other skills courses as it’s also delivered by someone who actively works in Radio and not just the classroom. During the week we got to practice recording which is empowering to see the possibility of a future me on the radio.

For the one week course, I learned a lot in a short space of time, more than I did at university and this will help me if looking for opportunities moving forward.

I took part in a free 5 day course led by Lee who was very enthusiastic, supportive and uplifting. From day one we got hands on experience recording in a studio. You feel nervous at first but the feeling straight afterwards is so worth it! We have recorded different style demos - from fun and charismatic to factual and serious. Each day is full of interesting content - make sure you don't miss out on any of it! It is a very well rounded course covering all the jobs/steps/crafts involved in radio and podcasting.

The course was incredibly helpful in highlighting the areas of the radio industry I’d like to work in, and helping me understand how to improve my skills and abilities so that I’m ready to work within the industry. Each day was well organised and structured, with Lee being amazing at explaining everything. It was a very welcoming and engaging week and has really helped and motivated me to try and join the industry, which felt a little daunting before I found this course. Thank you Lee, all the guest speakers, and everyone behind the scenes that have helped provide this course, it has been a massive help to kickstart my career!

This week has been amazing, I wasn’t sure how the course would be but it has been the best week I’ve had for a long time. Learning different things, meeting new people and more importantly being seen and heard and made to feel welcome not only by staff but also by other members of the group. The content of the course was interesting and really engaging.

Don't wait. Whether you consider yourself too late in your career to start something new. Whether you fear you haven't the right skills to embark on a course such as this, you're likely incorrect. The Gaydio Academy has restored my faith in following my dreams and renewed my ambition for working in broadcasting. I hope this is the start of a new chapter in my career and I can assure you what is delivered by Lee and the team in the Academy is a sure footing to get you going

Never felt more supported doing a course on a topic that I had absolutely zero experience in. Lee was beyond supportive! I genuinely feel like I can start a career in radio and/or podcasting now and I know Lee will be there to support me even after the course!

The atmosphere at the Gaydio Academy is absolutely positive and vibrant compared to anywhere I have been. It helps when everyone at Gaydio is friendly and evoking positive vibes, including the employees working at Gaydio. The course tutor, Lee, is friendly, patient and helpful. I learned more about creating C.V.s, which the job centre failed and didn't bother to teach me about over the years. Lee is gracious enough to give me feedback and tips on how to improve my C.V.

I loved each and every second of the curriculum and especially the panache of which it was delivered! I've never known any educational experience to be so enjoyable and still be so memorably illuminating.I'm tremendously grateful for my gracious introduction into the Gaydio Academy

Mega cheers for today Lee. Loved it and I like your training style. It didn't feel like a course at all. Considering some of the courses I have been on working for the Police before I retired. Some of them can bore you to sleep, Haha But seriously thankyou. After I did the bit recording I felt a sense of like ‘hell yeah I can do this if I work on 'X', 'Y' and 'Z’ So thank you!

Lee was a fountain of knowledge! So much incredible content and really useful tips provided throughout. I felt so lucky to have someone with so much experience train and support me on my journey. Even though it was called ‘intro’ it was very advanced in how quickly they equipped and developed our skill set.
