Logic Pro X Course

School of Electronic Music is an Apple Logic Certified Training Centre

Introduction

If you’re an Mac user looking to make music, Logic Pro X is a great place to start, particularly if you’re from a singer/songwriter or acoustic slant. Logic Pro X is an incredibly powerful music production software used by professionals in the music industry globally, and can be purchased from the App Store for £199. As is the nature with making music, there’s a lot to learn and it can often be difficult to know where to start.

Our training for Logic Pro X is delivered as 14hrs 1-2-1 training. For this reason, it’s suitable regardless of the level you’re at, whether you’re a total beginner, or already a long-term Logic user looking to get more from it. Training can also be scheduled to fit around your schedule on weekdays, weekends or evenings.

If you’re a beginner, we can focus on the main areas that will help get you kickstarted into making music and finish a track. This includes learning how to record audio into Logic and programme instrumentation in the genre of your choice, arranging your musical ideas and gaining basic mixdown knowledge to bounce out a song by the end of the 14hrs.

If you’re more advanced and looking to learn specific techniques, our tutor Jonny Batchelor is extremely adept with Logic Pro X and will be able to discuss your requirements and build a more tailor-made curriculum.

As part of the course you’ll gain 6 weeks access to our Midi Lab and Studio 1 (that’s 7 days a week access!) from when you start, to continue using our powerful iMacs, software, and our technical support team to assist you.

When should I enrol?

In short: enrol as soon as you are ready. All live course dates are available for you to enrol on.

Unlike most training centres SEM has a limit on lecturer to student ratio and keeps its class sizes small. We therefore have limited availability and courses fill up in advance. We would recommend enrolling as soon as you are ready, to avoid disappointment.

Options 1 – 2: If you are funding with Monthly Finance with Omni Capital (credit check involved)

Apply online now via the course page, this will take you to Omni Capital’s page for the finance side of the application.
Your finance decision should be immediate.
Monthly repayments to Omni Capital do not begin until 1 month after your finance application has been accepted.
The initial downpayment is paid to SEM, which is required once your finance application has been accepted.

Option 3: If you are funding yourself (no credit check)

Options 1 – 2: Get instant Monthly Finance with Omni Capital (you will need to be in employment)

Prospective students are able to get an instant online decision to fund training though our partner Omni Capital. Please note Omni Capital will undertake a credit check when you apply for finance.

To apply, you must be 18 or over, earning over £5000 annually and have been living in the UK for at least 3 years before your course starts. Omni Capital will also take into consideration additional factors such as your credit score. If you are uncertain about whether applying for the finance is right for you, please contact a course advisor first.

Click ‘Enrol on Course’
On the second page, fill out your student details. At the bottom of the page select ‘Monthly Payments Omni Capital’.

You will need to pay a minimum 5% downpayment on the course fees to SEM at the point of successful finance application, although you have the option to make anything up to a 50% downpayment on course fees (a larger downpayment will make your monthly instalments cheaper). Should you wish to make a larger downpayment, contact SEM instead of applying online, as we will need to setup a bespoke application.

Options 3: Fund the course yourself

There is no credit check involved with this option.

If you have not lived in the UK for the past three years, or have low or no credit score, then this option may be relevant for you as you may not qualify for Omni Capital finance.
