I was amazed by the amount of work available to me after completing my course - it has opened new doors to jobs I didn't think I could apply for. I hope to go on to progress my career in this industry and work my way towards a senior position in the future.

Success stories

During my time on the course I gained a wider skillset and also the knowledge of many other aspects of the music industry I had previously not considered as career options. From my time on the course I have since taken this skillset around the world with me working in several different countries doing what I love, which all started from this course!
