Short Courses
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring anything to your courses?
Just yourself! Each participant sits at a state of the art computer workstation, equipped with everything needed for each course.
What level of ability are your courses aimed at?
All our courses are equally suitable to beginners or intermediates. Because of our small class sizes, the instructor has plenty of time to make sure everybody in the class moves forward together and has their questions answered. The only pre-requisite for our courses is basic computer ability.
I have a PC at home, will it be a problem using your Macs?
Not at all! Pro Tools, Ableton Live and Reason function almost identically on PC and Mac, with the main difference being only a couple of keyboard commands (which our instructors will point out during the course). Please note, though, that Logic and Final cut only run on the Mac platform.
How and when can I pay?
Payment can be made by credit card, eftpos, cheque, direct deposit into our bank account, or cash at our premises.
What are your future dates?
The best way to find out dates is to join our mailing list. As soon as dates are confirmed, we let everyone on the list have first chance to book for these.
I am an experienced user/producer, do you offer advanced courses?
We plan to offer follow-on advanced courses shortly, for previous students or those with experience. Join our mailing list to find out first about these when they're announced.
Do you run any other courses?
SAE and our sister college QANTM, run accredited courses in most aspects of the creative industries, and all info is available on this website - have a look around! If there's a short course you'd like us to do, we're all ears - send us an email to let us know!
