Music Production Diploma Courses
All of our music production diploma courses run for six weeks with six teaching hours a week. The courses are designed for optimised learning so you take in the content in a day, recap in-between sessions at home, and come back to us a week later for the next session of learning. This is makes use of an educational practice called The Spacing Effect. Evening courses run two sessions per week for three hours each. If you miss any sessions dues to holidays or illness, we will try and engineer it so you can catch up on the next cycle.
To enrol, call or send us an email telling us which course you would like to do when it runs and we’ll organise the rest.
