WHEN YOU LEAVE
SCHOOL-WILL YOU
HAVE...
A G.C.E. Which includes English Language, Mathematics and
Physics at ' O' level, and at least one subject at
'A' level?
A practical interest in radio, television, tape recording,
photography, stage lighting or sound effects, and
a desire to learn more about these subjects?
The wish to build a Career on these foundations, involving
practical work with technical equipment, helping
to put radio and television programmes on the air?
There are openings in the Engineering Division of the BBC
for Technical Operators and Technical Assistants. Technical
Operators are responsible for the operation of equipment used in
producing Sound and Television Programmes. Technical Assistants
(whose 'A' level subject must be Physics or Mathematics) are
concerned with testing, adjusting, setting-up, and maintaining
the equipment. Full training is given in both cases.
If you expect to obtain 'A' level passes in Physics and
Mathematics, you may be considered for a Technical Traineeship,
a number of which are awarded each year. They are for three
years, leading to the Higher National Diploma in Electrical
Engineering.
The opportunities mentioned above apply to boys, but there
are also opportunities for girls to train as Technical Operators
in Sound Broadcasting.
