DJ Mix Club launched the first DJ School four years ago, and to date over 700 DJs have been trained on our course. We offer Beginner & Advanced Courses and students who graduate receive a diploma and become automatic members of the DJ Mix Club. As the course is very popular, we can only accept a limited number of students per course. Bookings are therefore essential.
Our courses are hosted by established DJs who are active in the Industry, and all students are taught mixing skills on turntables. No need to bring anything to the course as everything is provided for you.
