Basic DJ Course
Our basic DJ course is specifically designed for individuals who have a passion for DJing but lack prior experience in the field. We understand that starting from scratch can be overwhelming, so we begin the course by introducing students to the various types of DJing equipment available. From there, we dive into the intricacies of the mixing process, covering each stage in great detail.
Throughout the course, students will learn essential skills such as setting up decks and mixers, cueing tracks, selecting the right music, and seamlessly mixing tracks at the most opportune moments. Additionally, they will receive comprehensive training on setting levels and EQ, while also being introduced to more advanced processing effects and mixing techniques.
Course Duration
The basic DJ course spans a total of 40 hours, with each session lasting 90 minutes. We believe in providing our students with ample time to grasp the concepts and techniques taught. In some cases, if our faculty feels that a student requires additional time to fully understand certain concepts, we offer extra classes.
Previous Knowledge
No prior knowledge or qualifications are required to embark on the journey of learning DJing. However, if a student does have any background knowledge, it can certainly help them grasp the concepts more easily.
