What students say about this course
Patrick, Canada
The amount of high-quality content that not only inspire me to try new things but also build on previous lessons is impressive. Video after video, the techniques you learn are refined and presented in a well thought out manner. Jamie Hartley and Crossfader have built the best, and in my view, the essential online DJ training for anyone looking to improve their skills.
Nate, USA
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! Cannot recommend Crossfader enough if you want to learn the fundamentals of DJing. Jamie lays out an easy to follow plan that had me comfortably mixing songs in just a few short weeks.
Husam, Kuwait
I can't thank the crossfader team enough; I believe there is no better way to start DJing than to learn with Crossfader.

Jamie Hartley
Our instructor, Jamie Hartley, a seasoned DJ with over a decade of experience, began his career as a full-time DJ at the age of 16. Since 2014, he has grown Crossfader from a small UK-based DJ school where he personally taught aspiring DJs, to the renowned global online DJ school and community it is today. Through years of one-on-one instruction in a studio, Jamie has developed a foolproof and systematic approach to teaching DJ skills and techniques. Unlike other DJ schools, Jamie focuses on teaching the creative skills that make you stand out.
