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!
