Pete Tong DJ Academy Reviews 

If I could give it more stars I would! There’s so much here, they have really went above and beyond to cover all bases and teach in such a way that you’re encouraged to really create and find your own sound.

For me personally, it allowed me to be able to start where I was with where I was - which was with a Beatport subscription and Pioneers WeDJ app, which might sound naff because I wasn’t using a controller, but ultimately, it was my way of testing whether or not it was a desire/passion I would really apply myself to before investing in equipment - which if you’re someone who doesn’t have the capacity to invest right away, is invaluable.

They’ve taken some of the biggest DJs and Producers in the Industry and not only do they teach you how to develop and apply the skills but give you exercises to go away and practice so you’re layering the skills as you go; to listen back and really learn what you’re doing. Not only that, but the interviews with the different DJs and Producers where they’re sharing how they work, build, create and their set ups is EPIC - where some schools you’re learning from one teacher or copying skills from reels - in PTDJA you get to see just how different each DJ and Producers does things which really reflects back to you that there is no one way to do things and the more that you devote yourself to learning and practicing (and being willing to suck at it and learn) you have so much space to really grow, play, learn and develop you’re own creative license.

As if that’s not enough, there’s a circle community where you get to connect with others on their journeys, ask questions, answer questions and share for feedback.

AND they create opportunities for you to make submissions and share industry opportunities. It’s insane. Like, whether you start with the intention of just wanting to learn and play around and explore, or if you’re committed to really applying yourself - you’re completely covered - as long as you’re ready to get in, do the learning and do the work, you’re going to gain so much from being in this space.

For context, I started in wanting to learn because it had been a teen dream to become a Sound Recording Engineer and later a DJ and school had dashed it, so I just set it down - 20 years later it’s me circling back to give it a go.

I’d fully intended to just learn to DJ and ended up, even with my ultra basic set up, creating my first 4 sets I uploaded to SoundCloud and the further through the course I went and the more I learned, the more I realised the scope of what you can do and I see how learning to produce makes TOTAL sense and of course, I’m ready to invest in equipment and learn all over again - but I feel confident in myself with it now because I’ve already practiced so much with where I was with what I had.

So I am immensely grateful to the whole PTDJA team and the community for making it such an expansive, welcoming and inspiring space.

If you’re going to learn anywhere I couldn’t recommend PTDJA more!

I've learned a lot from Pete Tong academy from my bedroom DJ , now i feel more confident to perform in front of my friends and family

Amazing experience so far - so much to learn

Very complete, organized dj course. Great community too.

I spend a very good experience in the academy. All the basic point of how to be a dj or how to make a track is very clear and simple to understand. I recommend to any one who want to start the journey.

Great platform for students who want to improve skills!!

The absolute fact that I have followed these icons of industry for well over 20 plus years made it a no brainer choice for me. I felt that this was my chance and window to the world of music which I love. My opening to be linked to the best legendary pillars of House, Techno and all sub-genres just simply where I always wanted to be. There is no other course on planet earth which can keep up with PTDJA. Here's what take the plunge and thank me later when you're at the top of the game. Just do it and do it NOW! I have zero regrets and grateful to be a part of this awesome academy.. Yours respectfully, Dj Jazz House Mafia.

I wish you didn’t have to wait for courses and the meeting should be able to be accessible after immediately for people overseas who can’t make the meeting on time

The courses and community, along with some of the best names in the business (I mean.. Jamie Jones, Pete Tong, Diplo.. it doesn't get any bigger or better than that) have gelled together creating some kinda super-producer-serum which has levelled me up considerably.

In two months, my productions have gone from patchy to JUST short of where they need to be to send to labels.. which, considering where i was before, is quite remarkable.. this has been achieved through a combination of:
- the platform being easy to navigate
- the gamification of the syllabus itself
- the individual lessons which make up the courses being relevant and easy to understand (and well delivered by the pros) and finally
- an active and welcoming community.

For me personally, its been a game changer! So will be eternally thankful to the enstire PTDJA team for that.

Theres tons of stuff i havent even touched on:
- free giveaways
- talent pool stuff (where you can get to play at the worlds biggest venues)
- hangouts with guest speakers where your/our demos and dj sets are reviewed

.. BUT.. i think If I lay it on any more thickly, people will assume im some kinda paid shill, or AI bot.. i'm neither.. my names is Mike.. and im from Yorkshire.. but currently reside in Bangkok where i live and work as an architect. Im a real human 'boy'.. aged 46.

Muy buenas lecciones y verdaderamente hechas para entender y realizar las instrucciones y crecer como dj. La comunidad tiene muy buena comunicación y es fácil para conocer a más alumnos y tener discusiones o apoyo. Tal vez no te harás famoso gracias a la escuela. Pero la comunidad es un apoyo para encontrar a gente en tu alrededor y tal vez tener más gigs… muy pero muy recomendable. Vale absolutamente la pena!! 👍🏽👍🏽

If you are a big fan of electronic dance music and you want to start or boost your dj/producer career, then PTDJA is the place to be!!
Team PTDJA is always willing to help in every possible way and next to this team there is a huge community of same minded people to help you futher. I’m a member since the early start and hopefully we can enjoy PTDJA for many years to come 🔥🎶🥳💥❤️

Pete Tong DJ Academy has been fantastic, Great community, the lessons have been on point, as well as amazing discounts, opportunities, premier access to record labels for releases as well as free items! And the team behind everything has been very responsive and helpful as well!

When I signed up in this academy last summer time, I said: Ok I will see, but it will be the same as others DJs School. Boring and go to nowhere. So I follow the courses with a very strong discipline, and it's very interesting. And it's not just courses. You can get access to a big community, you can try to get some opportunities in several competitions, DJs, producers, or both. You can help others and vice versa. I've spoken with people all around the world, and that's a really good thing. In courses, teachers don't say bullshit! You have many explainations to understand what is essential to know. They say: You can make it, but you have to work hard. That's the deal, and not selling dreams. Regarding interface usage, I did have a little problem in my profile, and little hours later, the problem was fixed by an administrator. PTDJA is The place to be in these days, to accelerate your career, if you want to show your talent. I wish this school had existed 25 years ago, when i started DJ!

PTDJA is a wonderful place to learn the fundamentals of the industry and how an artist should approach their craft. It teaches not only artistic development, but also how to support others and push your career to the next level. A big part of why I love PTDJA is their focus on social media skills. They encourage you to be active within the academy, which helps build strong habits that are essential for the future.
There is always help available when needed, and the fact that they can provide real professional opportunities is a huge motivation in itself.
The connections with other musicians help a lot and make you feel less alone in this fast-growing world of music creation, where everyone lifts each other up. We also have live sessions where we can speak directly with tutors and mentors to connect, grow, and learn together.
I was already active in the music industry before joining the academy, and I am still learning a lot. So even if you are an advanced producer, if you want to become a better artist or a stronger business professional in the music industry, I highly recommend taking a look.

Great instructional videos and course information. The best part about PTDJA is the community of like-minded people coming together to support each other’s creativity. If you put in the time and effort it’s a great way to improve your skills and build relationships.

Since I joined the Pete Tong DJ Academy Campus, it’s been an incredible experience! The course structure is amazing — super easy to follow, with exercises that really help you practice and develop your skills as you learn.The community is full of real people at different levels, so you never feel alone on your journey. The vibe is positive and motivating.The content is next level — created by Grammy winners and superstar DJs who actually built their careers from scrach way before social midia. The insights they share, plus the feedback sessions, really push you to grow as an artist.There are so many great things to mention... but honestly, this Academy is the real deal. It’s an opportunity to learn, connect, and evolve in a world-class environment!

They know what they're talking about, they lay everything out as simple as possible to follow and the whole community is so supportive, and give you guidance along your journey. My work has massively improved since joining and ive still got alot to do on the course. So there loads to do to keep you going.

Definitely recommend you to check it out. You won't be disappointed with the results.

I think the PTDJA is an excellent space for those who are starting to gather some traction in their dj journey. It is industry focused though, so if you’re not looking to do clubs, festivals, and/or produce (like, you primarily want to be a mobile/wedding dj or something), there are probably more cost effective platforms for dj courses (like if you’re not trying to upgrade your presence on the socials while working through the courses , you’re gonna be a little stressed. but that has to be expected to some degree given the importance of a strong social media presence for this kind of DJing). That said, the real added value in my mind is the community. The staff and other students are supportive and professional, and it truly feels like you’re a part of something. To be able to share your mixes and tracks with successful and up and coming artists is really unique and helpful for growth. I will say that I’m occasionally unclear about the feedback mechanism. For example, when submitting to a couple campus activities (which there are many of) I received confirmation that I’d hear back once reviewed, and I never did. Yes, I can and do infer that it wasn’t good enough, but I don’t know how to focus on specific areas of improvement without feedback. I get that the team is super busy (they’re always running cool coffee shops and general mentoring sessions) but a big draw was the ability to get semi-direct feedback). Outside of this, there’s a lot of value to be had from becoming a student. However, the best way to maximize your time and investment is to have a clearer vision of your goals and identity as an artist. Yes you can develop that through their platform, but it seems to me that if you’ve already done a lot of that work you can better maximize your time and resources once becoming a member.
