I went from self-doubt to dominating the decks
"Advanced DJ School gave me the confidence I was lacking and made me feel in control of the decks. One of my major struggles was creating playlists; it was daunting, but once I understood musical keys and harmonizing, it became tremendously easier. I also gained a broader understanding of DJing through their knowledge of music, among other things. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to level up their skills."

frequently asked questions
Advanced DJing is the next level of DJ performance, where technical skill, creativity, and business knowledge come together. At this level, DJs don’t just play music—they create unforgettable experiences, adapt to any crowd, and establish themselves as professionals in the industry.
Being an advanced DJ means delivering unforgettable performances, which leads to word-of-mouth bookings and a strong DJ reputation. Plus, with the right branding, marketing, and networking skills (taught in our Entrepreneurial Skill Development module), you can attract gigs, secure contracts, and grow your career as a professional DJ.
Advanced DJ School is for anyone who wants to become a professional DJ—whether you're a beginner with no experience, an intermediate DJ looking to refine your skills, or an experienced DJ wanting to build a career. No prior experience or degree is required.
Advanced DJ School is located in 288 Kent Ave, Ferndale, Randburg, Johannesburg, South Africa. While our primary training is in person, we also host seminars, workshops, and pop-up classes that may be available in different locations or online.
Since this is an in-person course, you’ll need to be in Johannesburg to attend. If you're outside the area, we recommend following our online resources while we work on launching an online version of the course.
