Pass criteria

In order to obtain an Electronic Music Professional Certificate, you must complete the following two courses with a minimum score of 80%

Music Production 101: Essentials (18 weeks - 8 credits)

Everything you need to know in order to start producing music at a professional level, including making beats, subtractive synthesis, sampling, midi, mixers and effects, and the nature of sound. You'll also cover the basics of microphones, and an introduction to music business. This module includes the Apple Certified Logic 101 training programme, also available separately. Logic Pro is used to record, edit and mix.

Sound Design & Synthesis (18 weeks)

Learn the principles of the most common synthesis techniques and master the art of sound design. This course is a must for electronic musicians, dance music producers, foley artists, video editors and anyone interested in sound effects.

Where can you go from here?

Even before the end of the course you will possess the technical skills to start creating mix CDs of your own productions. Graduates from the Sound Design and Synthesis course can get work from music instrument manufacturers, television, cinema, theatre, video-game companies, or use these skills for their own productions.

The value of LSS Certification

London School of Sound is a private college and the certificates we award are recognised around the world, thanks to the reputation we have built as a professional training institution.

Existing accreditation bodies often have little real value with respect to music production. In contrast, we develop our curriculum and certification system to reflect the skills actually needed in the creative industries and in the music industry in particular. However, as a consequence our accreditation system cannot be considered equivalent to any type of formal qualification in the UK or abroad.

This means credits gained from our courses cannot be used towards a degree, nor can they be used as an equivalent to GCSE, A Level or University Degree.

As an Apple Authorized Training Centre we award certificates on behalf of Apple, limited to the Apple Logic Pro Training Programme. These are accepted and recognised by every other Apple Training Centre in the world.
