Welcome to DBBC...

DBBC was set up over 10 years ago as a truly barrier-breaking project by volunteers with a passion for learning and helping people to reach their full potential.

We focus on radio broadcasting training and our courses cover everything from presenting to journalism. At the end of the course, we accredit students with an Ascentis (formerly OCNW) qualification in either "First Steps in Radio Broadcasting", "Media Techniques in Radio" or "Advanced Radio Presentation Skills".

It's not all just about radio...

DBBC also uses the medium of radio to train students who struggle with confidence and co-ordination and help them gain life skills.

We pride ourselves in training a wide range of students including those who are disabled, educationally challeninging or those who have lost confidence.

Making it all real...

In the past we have run many Restricted Service Licence (RSL) broadcasts inlcuding Roots FM, Bolton Youth FM, Washacre FM and many more!

Students are reguarly invited to take to the airwaves by hosting their very own show during our RSLs to get a taste of what a real radio broadcast is like.
