Advanced Diploma in Sound Engineering

Specialised Learning Programmes in the South African Entertainment Industry

The entertainment industry in South Africa has experienced significant development and growth, leading to the demand for specialised learning programmes. Some areas within the industry, particularly sound engineering, have lacked formal training programmes. Therefore, in collaboration with key members of the local Sound Industry, a Sound Recording Engineering course has been developed to produce well-rounded professionals well-versed in all aspects of sound engineering. This initiative aims to enhance the industry's growth and contribute to the African Renaissance.

Rationale:

The burgeoning Sound Industry in South Africa has highlighted a noticeable gap in formal training for sound design and understanding sound as a whole. CityVarsity has seized the opportunity to address this need by offering a specialized training course that focuses on sound engineering rather than just technical aspects. This approach equips learners with the necessary techniques and skills to succeed in a professional setting, thereby elevating local standards to meet global benchmarks.

The Advanced Diploma program further refines learners' practical skills in their chosen field of study. It introduces them to the Sound Industry through experiential learning, enabling them to enter the industry at a competitive level with specialized skills tailored to their chosen elective. This initiative not only benefits individual learners but also contributes to the overall advancement of the South African entertainment industry.
