Highly Recommended!

First, the platform runs smoothly. There are no glitches. Apart from this, there are clear instructions and a roadmap on how to consume the information before you get started, and you don’t get lost. The lessons are also very clear and easy to follow. I have a background already in music production but I have picked up a lot of information from the course that I couldn’t have come across elsewhere. I also see that the school is coming up with ways to help students with moving forward in their actual career, not just learning the skills. Highly recommended!!

Miaow, this is such a thorough one, thank you for taking the time. A couple of things jump out. "The platform runs smoothly, no glitches, you don't get lost" is exactly the experience the roadmap is built to give, so it's great to see it working. And coming from someone already producing, "information I couldn't have come across elsewhere" is the compliment we chase hardest. You also spotted where we're heading: the career side, not just the skills, because knowing how to move forward in the industry is half the battle. Highly appreciated right back 🙌

Just awesome

Just awesome. Surgically precise information & I couldn't be more thrilled with the lineup of 'old' faces from my record box (rekordbox) and a few new ones.

Im having fun doing what I love & this is helping me do it more often haha.

Thanks!

Hermetik, "surgically precise" is going straight on the fridge, love that. And ha, the rekordbox pun did not go unnoticed. But the line that matters most is the last one: having fun doing what you love, more often. That's the whole point, honestly, everything else is just in service of that. Keep the good times rolling 🎧

Short, but it says it all: still learning, from the best. That "still" is the good bit, because the moment you think you've learned it all is the moment you stop growing, and clearly that's not you. Glad to have you with us for the long haul 🙌

Reply from Pete Tong DJ Academy

Hi, thanks for being honest, "boring" is feedback we'd rather hear than not. Fair question back: what were you hoping for that the lessons aren't giving you? The structure is built to go step by step so nothing gets skipped, but that pacing doesn't suit everyone, and if it's dragging for you we'd genuinely like to know where. Drop us a line by opening a support ticket inside the help center of the campus and tell us which parts lost you; that's exactly the kind of note that shapes how we build the next lessons.

Nice, since 2020, so you came in with real hours behind you already, which makes "the method is very good" a compliment worth having. That's the thing we work hardest on: not just handing over information, but a way of working that actually sticks. Glad it's clicking on the production side. Keep the tracks coming 🔥

PTDJA is such a great community for Music Artists!

I love how they've brought so much together under one platform over the last few years. The continuous updates, the growing community, the various education pieces - it's quite awesome!

Stirling, this means a lot, especially the "over the last few years" part, because you've been around long enough to watch it all come together. That's exactly the mission: one platform where the education, the community and the opportunities live side by side instead of scattered everywhere. And you're right, the updates keep coming, we're nowhere near done. Cheers for growing with us 🙌

It has been an incredible journey for me. The community is amazing. One of the first people I connected with used to go to Vinyl in NYC, as I did. It was an instant friendship. The teachers are kind. They know how to give criticism while being gentle about it. The opportunities for exposure are amazing. All in all, it is GREAT and totally affordable. Cheers, Miss Amanda Jones @gypsyjourney1111 on insta - tok - and youtube

Amanda, this one's got real soul to it, thank you. That Vinyl connection is exactly the kind of thing you can't design into a platform, you can only build a place warm enough for it to happen, so hearing it did is the best. And you've named something we care about deeply: feedback that's honest but kind. Sharp criticism delivered gently is how artists actually grow, and it's not easy to get right. Cheers right back, Miss Amanda Jones. Keep that journey rolling 🙌

Thank you

I think the initiative to make the scene more robust and connected between students and DJs who have been working for many years is very valuable. I sincerely appreciate that and thank you for it.

Grazie a te, this is a thoughtful one. You've put your finger on something we genuinely believe in: connecting people just starting out with DJs who've been in it for decades makes the whole scene stronger, not just the individuals in it. That bridge between generations is the point. Really glad it resonates with you. See you on the Campus 🙌

Pete Tong DJ Academy 🙌

It's been great to do the Pete Tong DJ Academy for the last couple of years. I started DJing when I was 10, so knew quite a bit, but even going through the course from the start was worth it, and the competitions really helped lift my game 🙌

You get...

You get insight from DJs so few have a chance to sit down with 1 on 1. The wealth of knowledge is vast, and I bet it just scratches the surface. I cannot wait for them to add more the courses in the future. A proper investment.

Online DJ academy run by trustworthy, reputable, and kind professionals

As a person who intends on learning every day until I leave this planet, and as an electronic musician, I have seen everything under the sun by way of people who want to feed your ego as an “artist” - or make you feel unworthy - so that you will purchase their services and fulfill your destiny as the GOAT 🐐 of whatever your thing happens to be.

In the highly poseur-adjacent world of clubbing and DJs there are TONS of con artists. PTDJA, on the contrary, are ethical and professional.

Compared to their competitors in the same segment that I know of, (and I know of many), as well as a plethora of indirect competitors, they are reasonably priced, and reasonable in their promises to you.

What you learn quickly as a musician or aspiring artist is that nobody is going to do anything for you. If you want something, you have to rely on yourself. There are no shortcuts. There are no favors or rewards for a being good person. Nobody cares. You are a number.

Considering my generally cynical outlook I have been impressed with my limited experience at PTDJA. Limited because when I signed up I had little interest in being a DJ, specifically. I haven’t completed too much of the course work. As a live electronic musician I was curious and simply wanted to know more.

They have never held that against me. I have always felt included, to the extent I made myself available, and encouraged to participate more. Even after I had paid and my course ended, the relationships continued and the possibility to participate in many of their activities was continued as a courtesy, which was that was highly appreciated.

The course work is conducted by some of the biggest names in the business. Pete Tong is a legend of course. (Have you seen the movie? Great movie 🍿 but I digress.

They are the real deal. Will they make you a superstar DJ/producer? No. You will need to do that, if that’s what you want.

You also need to learn how you learn, which is not a criticism of PTDJA, just practical advice. If you know what you know, and know what you don’t, you can get a lot out of this experience.

They will provide you with a very fair deal on tools in video courses and through in-person feedback. They conduct themselves like the serious, good faith operators that they are.

They do this respectfully and without leveraging anyone’s hopes and dreams in a twisted way just to make a quick buck, which you see a lot in this market vertical. Best of luck to them. With thanks 🙏🏽 Sean Jones / Mixmastermelonhead / 2LuzCruz Productions.
