Diploma Courses:

Music Production Foundation Certificate:
This four-month programme (one year part-time) is designed to give you all the tools required to make music from the most minimal setup. The emphasis is on practical results, beyond plain academic knowledge to actually being able to create music and eventually turning this in to a career. While you learn elements of sound engineering, song-writing, music business, and gain specific knowledge of industry standard music software and hardware equipment, the most important outcome will be a better understanding of what it really takes to make music. Investing in this course will save you from expensive mistakes when buying equipment and software, and will give you the knowledge that would have otherwise taken many years to build learning from magazines, books and experience.

Music Production Professional Certificate:
This one-year programme (full-time) includes the two modules that make our Foundation Certificate and builds on them with two further modules. In order to obtain a Music Production Foundation Certificate, you must complete the following two courses with a minimum score of 80%.
- Music Production 101: Essentials (16 weeks)
- Foundations of Sound Engineering (16 weeks)

Logic 9 (Pro & Express) - Apple Certified Operator Level 1:
The best choice for beginners with no experience of Logic but also ideal for long time Logic users who need to catch up with the latest developments in version 9 and cover a few 'grey areas' (typically the environment, optimizing workflow and compatibility with other platforms). This course is eligible for London School of Sound Certification and prepares for the Apple Certification Exam (optional).

This three-days advanced course takes you through Logic’s most powerful features covering everything from production, editing, mixing, to notation and scoring to picture. This course is eligible for London School of Sound Certification and is required to gain access to the Logic level Two Apple Certification Exam.

Single-term Intensive Courses:

Short courses:
