The Vectis Radio studio is situated within the Riverside Centre in Newport with access to its facilities.

Vectis Radio broadcasts to over 4000 listeners in over 50 Countries!

The Tutor

The sessions will be primarily delivered by the Director of Vectis Radio, Ian Mac who will be

supported in delivering the course by other members of the Vectis Radio team.

Ian has developed the idea of the course as a means of passing on his extensive knowledge and

experience to young people and hopes that the course will not just enable those who undertake

it to develop specific broadcasting industry skills but also help more widely in enabling

participants to develop their confidence and self esteem as they move into their working career.
