National Broadcast Academy was established in 1957 as an in-house Training Department of the Station at the FRCN Broadcasting House in Ikoyi, Lagos. It was designed to cater for the training needs of FRCN Stations across the country.

The School later opened its doors to the industry and individuals who require special proficiency in certain areas of Broadcasting. This necessitated relocating to its present location in Ikeja, Lagos.

Located near the GRA, Ikeja Lagos, the School's courses are open to FRCN staff, public, State and commercial broadcaster stations as well as private individuals. There are also short courses that cater for outsiders. The School offers training in the different courses at three levels:

• Basic
• Intermediate
• Advanced
