Where next?

Once you've completed the DJ101 course, you should possess the technical skills to start creating mix CDs and approach club promoters for gigs. While we cannot guarantee you a job (in the end it's going to be your talent and musical taste that makes the difference), we're often approached by promoters looking for DJs and we can also offer practical advice that will help you turn DJing in to a full-time job.

When you feel ready to make the transition between playing records and making your own tracks, you can progress on to remixing and production with our short courses in Ableton Live and gain extra credits to qualify for the DJ Remixer Certificate.
