Ultimate DJ Course
£1100
Overview
The Ultimate DJ Course is our most complete and value-packed programme, designed to take any student, from total beginner to experienced DJ, to the Academy94 standard. Spread across 12 lessons (24 hours), this course gives you the full time and flexibility to master the craft and build the confidence needed to perform at a professional level.
Each lesson is 2 hours long, delivered one-to-one with our professional tutors who perform week in, week out at international shows, festivals, and major club nights. The course is fully customisable to your level, covering everything from foundational skills like beatmatching, cueing, and track structure, through to advanced performance techniques such as effects, looping, hot cues, acapellas, multi-deck mixing, and set-building for live shows.
Unlike the shorter time-block options, the Ultimate Course comes with everything included to get you accredited:
• A full MixVault exam (with multi-camera recording and professional feedback).
• 2 hours of free Premium DJ practice time in our brand-new studio space.
On average, it takes beginners 12 lessons (24 hours) to progress from scratch to Academy94 standard and confidently pass the MixVault exam. For more experienced DJs, this course provides the ultimate opportunity to refine every aspect of your performance and gain accreditation with the highest level of preparation.
If you’re unsure whether the full 24 hours is right for you, you can complete our free online assessment form on the main course page for guidance. But if you want the most comprehensive package with everything included, this is the clear route to take your DJing to the next level.
