Audio Courses At Alchemea College

London-based Alchemea College is one of the world's leading providers of certified audio courses, whether you are looking for music production courses, sound engineering courses, music technology courses or live sound courses. We offer audio courses in many disciplines for full time students, audio courses for part time students as well as one-day audio courses, all of which aim to give you a giant leg up in the industry.

Our audio courses, including our live sound courses, music production courses, music technology courses and sound engineering courses, have been delivering graduates of the highest calibre to the audio industry for over 15 years. We are proud of our reputation in providing some of the best and most comprehensive sound engineering courses, live sound courses, music technology courses and music production courses in the world, which is why students from around the globe enrol on our audio courses in London.

Live Sound Courses

With the live sound industry booming as music moves away from revenue created mostly by record sales and more towards the live performance market, this is a great time to start thinking about live sound courses. Alchemea's live sound courses stand out from all the other live audio courses out there because we structure our live sound courses in a unique way.

Our intensive live sound courses are delivered in a 4-month program which delivers more in that time than other live sound courses three times the length. This is because our live sound courses are extremely comprehensive, and unlike other live sound courses, produce graduates ready to start work in the industry straight away. The tutors on our live sound courses have all worked extensively in the live audio industry and the limited class sizes for all of our live sound courses ensure that students receive enough personal attention and practical time.

Our live sound courses offer industry standard facilities and equipment so that students have plenty of practical experience of the "real thing" when they graduate our live sound courses. With a philosophy of learning by doing, meaning that students on our live sound courses have excellent work experience and field trip opportunities, our mission is for graduates of our live sound courses to stand out from the crowd and be fully prepared for this competitive industry.

Sound Engineering Courses

Our sound engineering courses aim to provide students with the knowledge, experience and confidence to take big steps into the audio industry. With a very high quality of teaching, our sound engineering courses produce graduates who are ready to be industry professionals straight away, because Alchemea's sound engineering courses are different to the norm. With our small class sizes, our sound engineering courses ensure that all students receive personal attention from tutors and by far the major advantage over other sound engineering courses is the large amount of practical time that students enjoy on one of our sound engineering courses. With our industry specification standard studios, open 24/7, students on our sound engineering courses can enjoy plenty of hands on experience. Our studios are equipped with the latest audio technology and software to ensure that our sound engineering courses remain at the cutting edge of the industry.

Students on our diploma sound engineering courses also receive a mobile studio as part of their media pack, including an Apple MacBook and other top of the range software and equipment, ensuring that those taking our sound engineering courses are fully equipped to practice what they learn with us whenever they want to. Another benefit to our sound engineering courses is the huge discounts available through us on hardware and software from some of leading names in audio tech.

Music Production Courses & Music Technology Courses

Alchemea also have audio courses for those who wish to either start out in the industry or are producers wishing to expand their knowledge base with a music production course. Our music production courses offer high quality training with the best hardware and software available in the industry today. With Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live training and many more accreditations as part of our short music production courses, our music technology courses help to build great knowledge foundations.

Our short music production courses can be intensive crash music technology courses, and taking several music production courses can qualify you for a discount. Studying on one of our music production courses or music technology courses will also qualify you for the same discounts on hardware and software as our full time students on another of our audio courses.
