Study: Flexible
Back in 1996 we brought together some of Manchester’s most prestigious club and radio DJs, promoters and venues (including the Hacienda) to input their expertise in designing the UK’s first and finest range of DJ courses. SEM DJ courses now prove to be one of the best ways of getting into the industry, attracting students from around the world.
If you’re totally new to the decks and want to see what it’s all about, why not come along for a DJ Taster Course?If you’re new to it but want to get to a professional level of DJing, our popular Complete DJ Course could be for you. Or the Weekend DJ Course And if you’ve been practicing for years, why not treat yourself to some 1-2-1 lessons with a pro tutor.
With music production and live performance playing a larger role in DJing than ever before, we’ve created some course combinations to train you to the top of your game.
The Complete DJ Course can be studied standalone, and is suitable for total beginners. However if you want to become a DJ/Producer, why not do the Music Production Course and the Complete DJ Course..
