As a consequence of lockdown (and importantly looking beyond the coronavirus pandemic too), Point Blank is proud to be ahead of the curve in delivering a fantastic student experience whether on campus or online and are happy to include all the exclusive features for students listed here.
Now more than ever, the distinction between producers and DJs is disappearing - both talents complement each other if you want the widest platform for your music. This course is for people who live for music and want to cover all bases. Practical lectures take place three and four days per week so you will be busy! Outside of lectures you get unlimited practice time including use of the the fully stacked Pioneer DJ Studio. Developed by music industry professionals who have worked with Pharrell Williams and N.E.R.D, Black Eyed Peas, The Killers, Swedish House Mafia and many more and featuring top software packages such as Native Instruments' Komplete, this course also includes free entry to Apple's Logic 101 exam for Logic Pro users. Class sizes are strictly limited and each student has their own Apple Mac audio workstation and DJ set up in class and the practice studios. The course is taught on either Logic Pro or Ableton Live depending on your preference. Watch the videos below to find out more about Point Blank and this course!

It has been a pleasure studying at Point Blank! I am super impressed by your courses as well as the tutors. Since studying at Point Blank I have managed to get DJ gigs in a few places in London and one in Ibiza, and I couldn't have done this without the course at Point Blank. I would especially like to mention Nigel Dex Hosten who delivered a great DJ course. - Roberto, DJ student
