BASIC SOUND ENGINEERING COURSE
(organized by Forward Studio & Maurizio Orfei)
Who is it for?
The course is aimed at aspiring sound engineers of all ages, whether they're pursuing this career path as a profession or purely as a personal passion. It's also aimed at musicians, both professional and amateur, who want to learn how to create their own music/audio productions using the same methods used by experienced professionals, whether they work in professional facilities or in their own home studio.
While the course focuses on recording studio production, it is also recommended for those seeking careers as audio engineers for live events. The program covers the basic technical knowledge common to both fields (cables, signals, microphones, routing, etc.), which is essential for starting a career with audio service providers.
Course structure
The course includes a 64-hour core module divided into eight eight-hour sessions. Classes will be limited to a limited number of participants, allowing them the time they need to acquire and put into practice the concepts they will be learning. This will also allow the teacher to observe the students' abilities and unique characteristics, dedicating the necessary attention to each student, and supporting them in both theoretical and practical aspects.
The entire course will take place over a one-day workshop structured as a real-world work session in a top-level professional facility. Students will also acquire the dynamics of personal interactions between roles, which are as essential for successful integration into a work environment as technical knowledge and skills. Upon completion of the basic module, students can request to extend the course to further explore some of the specific topics covered in the program.

Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM (1:00 PM break), at Forward Studios, Viale San Bartolomeo 32 – Grottaferrata – Rome. Cost per student: €1,400 (VAT included)
COMPLETE SOUND ENGINEERING COURSE
(organized by Akademie Media)
This course, run by a German academy, is aimed at anyone who has already completed the Basic Course or who already has basic knowledge of sound engineering ready to embark on a more hands-on, hands-on journey. You'll take a few introductory theory lessons, then record a live band in the studio, mix the track, and, once mastered, send it to Akademie Media for evaluation and a certificate.
MUSIC PRODUCTION COURSE
(organized by Akademie Media)
This course, run by a German academy, is aimed at anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of sound design and music production. You'll take a few music theory lessons, and then, together with the instructors/producers, you'll begin producing your own track, each in your own style. After that, you'll move on to the mixing phase with our sound engineers, exploring this more technical area of production. You'll then send the file to Akademie Media for evaluation and a certificate.
