what happens if i miss a class?
As shown in our Terms and Conditions: If you know you will be unable to attend your booked session, please contact DJ School UK as soon as possible, in advance of your session, to discuss the circumstances. If DJ School UK is unable to reschedule your booking, a partial refund may be offered. All such instances are considered on a case-by-case basis.
If you miss your session or cancel with less than 48 hours' notice, your credit for that session is non-refundable.
If you arrive late to your session, the session will still have to finish at the pre-arranged time so please familiarise yourself in advance with our location, nearby car parks and public transport links.
can i pay in instalments?
We are happy to discuss any payment schedule for DJ Clubs.
For private tuition people often pay £50 for a first hour and then settle up £250 for a further 7 hours so they still get the advantage of paying a basic £37.50 per session overall.
The only requirement is that you have always paid in advance before each session.
can i BUY DJ / MUSIC PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT THROUGH DJ SCHOOL UK?
No we don't sell kit directly, but we will give you as much advice as we can. We will also let you try as many types of equipment in our sessions so you can choose what will suit you best. When you are ready to purchase your own equipment we recommend BOP DJ and can make introductions on your behalf. Sometimes BOP can help with discounts but this depends on exactly what you want to buy. When you do buy equipment you can book a session with us to help you set it up and get used to it.
do i GET A CERTIFICATE?
Any student can complete our AQA exam Board Unit Award Scheme Accreditations. These cost £25 per certificate in addition to your session fees. Please just ask your tutor if you want more information.
CAN I BRING SOMEONE WITH ME?
Private session - Yes someone can come and hang out to support you if it makes you feel more comfortable. You can even share the time with a friend if you want to learn together. Please just understand you may learn less than if you have a tutor’s undivided attention.
DJ Club - We are sorry but due to the available space DJ Club we cannot have adults or extras in the room. There is a Costa, Subway or the wonderful Sheaf Street Cafe nearby to wait in and there is shopping available at Crown Point Shopping Park next door.
