Seminar on Becoming an Approved Radio Certifier (ARC)
A recent seminar on becoming an Approved Radio Certifier (ARC) was conducted on 5th June 2024, attracting professionals from the radio industry. The seminar aimed to raise awareness about the ARC certification process, detailing the steps, qualifications, and technical knowledge required for certification. Participants were provided with an overview of the role and responsibilities of ARCs. The seminar was productive, with active engagement from attendees, who provided valuable feedback. This feedback will be valuable in developing and improving our training processes as the seminar will serve as a case study to improve our future training sessions. Future seminars will be held to continue raising awareness and providing support for industry professionals interested in becoming certified ARCs.
