Heavenly Father

I have been DJing for about ten months and absolutely love it. I decided to do your course after deliberating whether I needed it or not. May I say, it’s the best choice I ever made. I have learnt so much, so quickly, and only wish I tried it 10 months ago. I’m looking forward to the intermediate course as it will SAVE MONTHS OF EXPERIMENTING! Even my wife, who had no interest, can now do a simple mix after watching a couple of your tutorials.

Amrit Bains

This has by far been the best and most useful course I've ever done! It is structured in such a great way that is easy to follow, but at the same time very informative. I’ve not used my equipment much in the past, until I did your course! It’s just really brought everything together for me and makes me want to use them more than ever now! P.S Loved all the sample music you demo with, thank you!

Anthony Cunningham

Just wanted to say a big thanks, how great this course is! I have started learning how to DJ the past year with 1 to 1 tutors, but I have to say this, has helped me gain my confidence further and this course is easy to understand by the way you have structured each video with techniques. I will be purchasing the advanced course and I look forward to learning more!

Asharidge

I have finished course one, I’m so glad I did, it has helped me heaps! I’ve been playing around for a few years but decided to go back to basics and start at the beginning. So many questions answered in your tutorials which are excellent. I’ve got more practice to do and then I’ll be starting my second course!

Daren Higgs

I have been a DJ for over 25 years now and never had any lessons, just trial and error and advice from other DJs. I’ve just completed the beginner and intermediate courses and I have to say I really enjoyed going back over the basics. I have also learnt a lot about the software and use of effects. I will be purchasing the advanced course next week. Great tutorials!

Ditwylite

Thanks for a great course. I’m an older DJ who learnt on vinyl, then moved to CDJS and have recently bought the XDJ RX2. I took these courses to get used to the new technology. Love the courses, they’re very clear and easy to follow!

Wfp_hendriks

Jamie, absolutely fantastic course! The way you show the various techniques, the structure of the course and the quality of the videos is top-notch! I have done live teaching sessions before, but I prefer learning using your online teaching courses! Already purchased the advanced course and can't wait to start. Also, love the content you put out on your social media channels. Great way to spend my time during the lockdown!

Course FAQs

After Taking The Course Will I Get A Gig?

We don’t provide gigs as part of the course. This course is all about building up your reputation online and in person. We give you guidance and structure to help give you the best chance for success. We believe in making your way in the industry organically through these methods. You can’t buy your way into the industry; it takes commitment and hard work, but we guarantee that if you action everything within the course, you will have the best chances for success, and a gig will likely come your way soon after!

Do I Need To Also Buy A Mixing Course?

We would recommend buying one of our mixing or beginner courses if you’re new to DJing or don’t feel confident with your skills yet. The last thing you want to do is get your first gig but then not feel confident enough to perform at it. Becoming a confident and creative DJ can take time but thanks to our range of mixing courses you can master these skills with ease ready to show off through the content strategy outlined in this course.

What Equipment Will I Need?

This course can be taken no matter what DJ equipment you own. This career-driven course focuses on mindset, accountability, actionable tasks, and much more. We recommend you are already a confident DJ who thinks they’re ready for the club. Part of this course is about how to level up your social media, and you must already be confident with your DJ skills. If you’re new to mixing, we recommend one of our beginner courses first to learn the basics before trying to get gigs. Please note that this course will not guarantee a gig; however, it will change how you look for gigs, where you promote yourself and how you get your foot in the door. Be prepared to put the effort in, there are no shortcuts in this industry, and those who put the effort in now will see success in the long run.
