Training Courses 
For 30+ years, we've trained South Australian broadcasters from all backgrounds and ages.
We teach our volunteers everything they need to know, to deliver radio programnmes of the highest quality for their community, no matter how inexperienced they may start out.
Our courses cover many aspects of 5EBI broadcasting – theoretical and hands-on – including:-
- Australian Media Law
- National Community Radio Codes of Practice
- How to prepare and deliver radio programmes of a professional standard on 5EBI
- How to operate station equipment (including our state-of-the-art Elan 12-channel broadcast mixing desks)
- How to operate in-house audio systems (including our tailor-made 5EBI Message Player)
- How to produce and present a live programme on your own or with others
- How to produce and edit a sleek, pre-recorded radio show using computer software.
Training at 5EBI is tailored to suit individual needs and availability, from a one-off lesson to a three-week course with weekly lessons and autonomous, self-paced practice using our production studios (which trainees can book at their convenience).
All 5EBI courses are open to anyone who wish to increase their radio skills in a professional environment.
