Course Title: Dj Course
This course is designed to teach a total beginner all the basics of club DJing as well as all the knowledge required to work as a mobile/club DJ. It involves a minimum of 16 hours with an experienced DJ/Lecturer and another 16 hours of self study practical time on our state of the art equipment. We also offer our students the use of the equipment for extra practical sessions for the duration of the course, subject to availability.
Our course is presented over an eight week periodand consists of a two hour class once a week and a two hour practical session once a week. You also have the option of doing your class and practical on the same day. Along with all the practical knowledge a student will acquire from time spent on the equipment the student will also receive our unique DJ manual that contains all the information we cover in the course and can be used as a reference manual after the course has been completed.
We have seen that this course actually puts the student at such an advantage that he/she is actually on par with DJS that have been doing it for 4 years or more after just eight weeks. We give them that knowledge that would normally take them years to acquire through trial and error and probably some unnecessary expenses along the way as well.
The course covers equipment orientation, beat mixing, phrase matching, placements, cueing and many more DJ techniques. The student will also write a theory exam and a practical exam that would give them their internationally recognised Dj mix club/Technics accredited certificate, provided they pass. Included in the price of the course we will give each student 1 demo C.D with their ,profile, and contact details neatly printed on it that they can use in the field to get work. We will also do copies of that demo for a small price of fifty rand.
We try to create a relationship with our students and help them with records, gigs, equipment and as much after sales service as we can. Our course is designed for the true music lover. On completion of this course students have an option to carry on with our music production workshop at a15% discount on the workshops.
After one has finished the course he/she will be able to work as a club DJ,mobile disco DJ doing functions of any sort and even some radio DJ techniques are discussed.
This course is not limited to any age ..No academic requirements apply either; the only requirement would be the love of music.
