All the tutors are great people and fun but professional, especially Mr. Espinosa (Head of Audio / Post Production)and Mr. Lidbetter (Pro Tools / Logic Pro expert), who both basically changed my life forever teaching me all that I needed to know to make it in the Audio Engineering Industry. Now, 6 months after I finished the course, I’ve got a job engineering in a studio as well as helping out at SSR sometimes too when they hire out their studios commercially. Everything is going great and I’m so glad I made the decision to learn here. Some of fellow students are now working for the BBC, at The Roundhouse and freelance in post-production on feature films. They have amazing industry connections and all the tutors are currently working in the industry which is so important. They also let students come in and use the facilities as much as they want during their course and even after you have finished the course you are allowed to use the facilities at a much cheaper rate than any other similar studio set up.
I have heard of other courses where the tutors are basically retired from the industry or not actively working in the fields they are teaching in, so I am happy I learnt from people who are still active in that industry. As part of the course I also completed an (optional) NCFE Foundation degree (equivalent to a university degree but in 2 years, so quicker and much cheaper in total than uni!), Pro Tools 101, 110 and 201, Logic 101, and the SSR Diploma which is an industry recognised qualification. I can’t thank the guys at SSR enough and guarantee anyone who does any of their courses will not be disappointed.
Thanks to this course I had the opportunities to work on various projects using industry standard equipment and gaining enough experience to feel confident with using them.
I just started my career in one of the best Post Production Houses in London and I will be always thankful to the Tutors, the Staff and the great people I met at SSR.
The technical and practical knowledge I have gained from the course has certainly helped me rise through the ranks. The Pro Tools training has ensured I have a sound understanding of how to operate the leading software in audio-post, which I use on a daily basis.
I would recommended anyone wanting a career in audio to contact the school as the both the 'Audio Engineering Techniques & Technology' and 'Advance Audio Post Production' courses can help open doors, but more importantly give you a sound understanding of the necessary workflows needed to work professionally within the industry. As well as teaching you how to work to broadcast standards and making professional contacts.
Before taking the course I had tried making music a few times using Ableton Live but now I am not only confident using Ableton, Logic Pro and Pro Tools but also using a mixture of digital and analogue equipment through various mixing decks and even recording live instruments to use within my music, which is something I hadn’t even thought of doing before.Not only is it helping with my music making but also with my knowledge of sound, music and recording in general. This has also helped me with my film making so I can record audio much more confidently and professionally.
