DJ Training Requirements

So you want to be a DJ?

1. Organizing Vinyl – 2 library hours

Come to the station during library hours and help us pack and organize our vinyl. Library hours change every semester, so be sure to get on our email list for more information! New DJ’s must attend a total of 2 hours. Email Seneca or Sam to get on the training list and then sign up for library hours here. Please don’t sign up for library hours before you’re on the training list!

2. Write for WCWM – 2 additional hours

Write an album review/article for Vinyl Tap, volunteer for a radio event, become a genre director, join art team or tech team, spend more time in library hours, or do anything else radio related!

3. Training Hours:

Sign up for shadowing and test hours after you complete your library hours at this link!

  • 2 Shadowing Hours with a current DJ
    • You go to their show & they teach you how to rock out on the air waves.
  • 1 Test Hour with our Training Directors
    • You run the show, we watch and make sure you know what to do.

You must complete all training hours to become a DJ and have a show.

Congratulations! You’re officially a DJ for WCWM!
