Cape Audio College - The Institute of Sound Technology

The second year option has become a staple for many successful Cape Audio College Graduates. Although students will earn a Diploma within the first year of study, some find it essential to learn more advanced techniques of sound engineering. The second year option is is broken into a set of short courses combining to make up the second years module. If a student wishes to expand their knowledge in certain fields of audio they can specialize in one of the more niche areas. This has great advantage due to the fact that it expands experience base and increases knowledge of other areas of the industry. Being a sound engineer is one thing, becoming successful as an individual in the audio industry is another. With these extra tools a qualified engineer is able to have a better understanding of the many aspects of sound and music production while still being able to provide the technical support. This grounding is essential for anyone wanting to get into the business of audio or music production. Become a Protools master, learn the business of music production. Its all available as a choice in the second year. Just have a look at our short courses and choose your path.
