“Ariel offered me a strong foundation on which to build a career in the radio industry. I developed the skills required to succeed in radio then put those skills into practice on a work placement at BBC Radio Merseyside. I was later offered a job at the BBC and I believe that I would not have got this amazing opportunity without the support of Ariel Trust.”

“I cannot recommend The Ariel Trust highly enough. Within a year of completing the course I was an award-nominated broadcast journalist working on the breakfast show of the fastest growing radio station in the UK; I'd broadcast from Ethiopia, Glastonbury and Live 8.

I certainly wouldn't have acheived those things without the fantastic help and support offered by the Ariel Trust. The quality of teaching is second to none, and caters for all levels of ability. The tutors and support staff are incredibly friendly and the guest lecturers are proven successes in their field.”

" Thanks to Ariel, I now have a job with "The Local Radio Company". I'm responsible for developing the sound and creating imaging, and promotional elements at four stations in the North West. That's Dune FM, The Rocket, 2br and Silk. I also produce sweeper packages and music positioners for our network - twnety-eight stations in all!

I'm now doing the job I've always wanted and that's down to the people at Ariel who taught me. They're the best."
