Curriculum plus lab time takes you from beginner to professional DJ/Producer in a condensed timeframe.
The Accelerated Program is designed for beginner students committed to becoming a working DJ Producer in a condensed timeframe. This program includes 100+ hours* of curriculum and lab hours. We meet multiple times each week and there are no breaks built in. We systematically lay the groundwork for you to become a crowd-ready, working DJ at the end of the program.
The program is built on you hitting key milestones with strong mentorship from instructors and collaboration with your classmates. Classes move fluidly from one milestone to the next once students have grasped and mastered the concepts. All Accelerated Graduates will receive a plaque with certification and an introduction to Scratch Talent.
Students must be 18 or over to participate.
Payment plans are available for the Accelerated Program. Learn more in our frequently asked questions here.
