The CBA has teamed with the Radio Advertising Bureau to offer our members free RAB Professional Development Courses. Member stations will have access to three free courses, per ownership, per market during the CBA’s fiscal year (July-June). After a member’s three courses have been exhausted they will still have the opportunity to purchase additional courses for $100 each (a value of $489/ea.)
RAB Professional Development courses deliver the RAB’s highly-acclaimed classes right to your sales representative’s computer, providing access to training anytime and anywhere they have internet. The RAB Professional Development Courses combine video with text, learner interaction, and online quizzes for a complete learning experience: the most relevant training available in an entertaining, easy learning format.
