This is an area I 'thought' I was ok at, but even simple templates showcased in the course are making a huge difference and make things look more professional making me get noticed more. A big thanks for sharing this.

Robert, USA

The practices and exercises make the process of learning easy. The guidelines are easy to follow, and the explanations are super helpful and easy to understand. I feel confident taking this course that I think I will come out being successful in DJing.

Jesse, USA

After a ten year break from DJing, I picked up again with a small controller and the Rekordbox software and although the basics haven’t changed the way to interact with your music through software has. There is so much available and can be a bit overwhelming. The Rekordbox courses are clear with good examples and great structure which helped me find my way around.

Before you start

What you 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.
