Introduction
Are you a self-taught bedroom DJ looking to refine your skills? Struggling with occasional mix mistakes? Or maybe you’ve always wanted to try DJing but never had the chance? Whether you’re considering Private DJ Lessons or our Complete DJ Course, we’re here to help you take your skills to the next level.
If you’re any of the above then this introductory DJ Taster Course is for you. It’s an ideal opportunity to check out our facilities and teaching style, and see what the world of DJing is all about.
The aim of this hands-on day is getting you introduced to DJing – on the decks, understanding the mixer, and learning effective mixing techniques.
This course requires no previous mixing ability, and is a lot of fun. By the end of the day, you’ll be able to mix tracks together!

Lessons take place on either a Monday or Wednesday evening, 6pm until 10pm for 3 months.
What’s the youngest I can be to study this course?
As this is a group course with a mix of ages, we will happily allow students who are 16+ (with written parental consent.)
We will also accept ages 14-16 onto this course, if the guardian can attend and remain on the premises (the guardian will receive no training).
If you are younger than this and looking for DJ training, contact SEM as we would be happy to arrange 1-2-1 DJ training.
Do I need any equipment to do the course?
You don’t need any DJ equipment to take this course. In fact, we recommend training with us first to get hands-on experience with different setups before deciding what to invest in for your home DJ rig. This way, you’ll discover what works best for you.
Worried about the cost of setting up at home? Think again—entry level DJ controllers are affordable, making DJing more accessible than you might expect.
Book a call with a course advisor to discuss your goals. We’ll help you figure out the best setup to get you started on your DJ journey.
My question isn’t answered above!
If you have any questions or are unsure if this is the right course for you, you can call the office and talk with a course advisor at a time that suits you.
Alternatively you can email us, or give us a call directly on +44(0)161 833 4722. Our office is open Monday – Friday 10am – 6pm GMT.
