Learn the ins and outs of the business on-the job, one-on-one with a seasoned radio professional. In Columbus, there’s simply no better way to break into radio than to extern in a real Columbus radio facility–and no better radio school alternative than RADIO CONNECTION to get your foot in the door.

Don’t be fooled: enrolling in a radio broadcasting training program at a typical trade school or college can cost 10-50 thousand dollars or more, and won’t provide you the access to the industry that you’ll need in order to succeed. Our revolutionary approach places you directly in the heart of the action, in a real radio station, for a fraction of the cost of typical radio schools. The choice is clear! Get on the inside track, and connect to the industry by getting trained inside it. Our radio school alternative is hands-down the smartest, most cost-efficient option on the market today.
