TOP 10 QUESTIONS
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 3 PRICE TABLES?
The DJ Essential Course covers all the intermediate topics that are listed in the course syllabus. There are 3 options for this course:
- SHARED CLASS:
The shared class hosts 4-5 students covering 10 hours to complete the full curriculum of the intermediate module over a period of 4-5 weeks. - SEMI PRIVATE:
The semi private course hosts 2 students covering 10 hours to complete the same curriculum. - PRIVATE MODULE:
The private module hosts 1 student only covering 8 hours over a period of 3-4 weeks. Since the course is concentrating on one student only, more topics are covered in less time. If you would like to go more advanced you can enroll in Private Module 2
HOW ARE THE COURSES SCHEDULED & WHEN?
The shared class is usually scheduled around 6pm. This is the time when most people are OK with, however if all the students agree on another timing then we can change accordingly.
As for the semi private course, it is scheduled based on the common free time among both students and it is more flexible
The private course is scheduled based on the student’s free time and on the availability of the tutor. This can be discussed closely with the tutor as the schedule is flexible.
Concerning the schedule, all courses are usually given twice a week covering 1.5h to 2h each visit. Private lessons can be more flexible whether the student would like to cover more (or less) hours per week.
WHEN IS THE NEXT DJ CLASS SCHEDULED?
Private courses are flexible and they can start few days to few weeks after confirming the registration by submitting the full payment. Semi Private courses might start anywhere from 1 to 8 weeks after submitting a down-payment. In case you register for a Semi Private course by the time someone else is already on the waiting list, then the class will open shortly after.
If you are applying for a Shared DJ Course, it might take 1 to 12 weeks to start. It all depends on the current status of the class, whether some students have already submitted before you, or whether you are the very first to submit.
DO I HAVE TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT IN ADVANCE?
DJ Courses are short and can be competed within an average of 4 weeks. The payment should be fully paid anytime before the first session, however in order to book a seat, a non refundable down-payment should be settled.
IS THIS COURSE ENOUGH FOR ME TO DJ AFTER I GRADUATE?
Knowledge, Talent, Skill, Practice, Passion and Patience are the main ingredients of success. At Per-vurt, not only we make sure that you get the most professional tutoring, but we make sure that we will be proud being represented by you in the dance music industry.
The DJ Essential Course covers the intermediate topics that are listed on the course syllabus. Along with enough practicing, it guarantees that you can perform at any event.
Upon completion of this course, if you would like to reach a more advanced level, then you can always apply for private sessions or for the second module that focuses on deeper aspects of DJ’ing as well as advanced techniques and direct evaluations.
WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC DO YOU TEACH?
We are specialized in Electronic Music however we do not teach you what to mix, we teach you how to do so. When you learn the art, technique, and science of DJ’ing, you will be able to mix any style of choice, whether it is Pop, Dance, R&B, Techno, House, Oriental, Arabic, or even Dubstep, Chillout, Psychedelic and D&B. But it all depends on what level you have reached before you unlock the techniques of different non-electronic music styles.
WHAT ARE THE VOUCHERS GRANTED WITH THIS COURSE??
Applying to this course grants you 3 vouchers:
- 15% Discount on Mixed In Key
- 33% Discount on the DJ Room Rental Student Bundle
- Up-to 20% Discount on gear at our store
DO I NEED TO HAVE ANY GEAR?
Our DJ School is fully equipped with the latest DJ gear. It is not a must to have your own gear however, because it is very important to practice. we recommend that you buy a basic DJ setup to practice at home. If you cannot afford a setup at the moment, we recommend that you get the DJ Room Rental Bundle for which you receive a 33% discount
DO YOU OFFER FINANCIAL AID FOR STUDENTS?
At Per-vurt School, our aim is to always support education and grant our students the best we can to ensure they get an excellent learning experience even when their financial resources are limited. We believe that it is our responsibility to contribute in making education less of a privilege and more of a human right.
For that, we have come up with another financial aid that would extend your course payments over a longer period of time while you enjoy taking the course stress free. The plan is to grant you double the time it takes to finish your course payments with 0% interest. For example, if the course duration is 2 months, you can have 4 payment installments. This has to be secured by a banker’s check that will remain in the safe box until the full payment is completed, and by then it can be returned to the issuer.
For more information about our financial aid and how to apply for it please contact us here →
DO I GET A CERTIFICATE UPON COMPLETION?
Although we do not believe in major benefits behind receiving a certificate in DJ’ing or in Music Production, and because those two domains are not considered to be academic, we do grant certificates to the students taking the “DJ Master Certificate“. Students taking Essential or Private Courses are granted a letter of completion.
It is true that hanging a certificate on the wall looks nice, but what really makes you qualified is your mixing skills and the ability to control the dancefloor.
