SwVCC's
Certificate program in Radio / Television Broadcast Production
SwVCC has designed its Certificate of
Broadcasting program to help students develop the technical skills that
they will need when competing for positions in the broadcast industry.
Our program familiarizes the student with linear editing, emphasizes
digital editing, enhances performance technique and encourages creative
design and camera work.
The three semester long Broadcast
Production Certificate program is structured to provide students with
intensive "hands-on" training and instruction in the production and
broadcast of television and radio.
Focused occupational objectives
resulting from a certificate in radio / television broadcast production
include: Videographers, Radio Disc Jockeys and Technicians,
Graphic Designers, Broadcast Production Assistants, Video Technicians,
Recording Engineers and Self-employment.
Admission to the program requires
general college admission plus proficiency in English as measured by
appropriate tests administered by the College Counseling department.
The student is required to take basic
technical courses and general education courses. Students who
complete the requirements of the program will be awarded a Certificate
in Radio / Television Broadcast Production.
