Courses in Audio Engineering

Courses expand the development of personal specialized interests that can benefit a person’s hobbies, personal life and career, depending on the certifications and diplomas sought. The time it takes to complete a course varies from school to school.  

What is a course in audio engineering? Learn the basics of signal flow, automation, acoustics, recording techniques and so much more. Courses include hands-on time in the studio learning about the equipment and tools used, audio mixing, recording techniques, surround sound, film, tv and game audio, electronic synthesis, and video/audio effects. Courses range from a simple sixty- to eighty-hour certification to three-year comprehensive full-time programs.

Learning to edit digital musical pieces and mix music provides course participants with the skills to work in the audio, film and tv industries or work on their own music and hobbies. Hands-on equipment training prepares students to hook up their own audio systems and get the most out of their music.

With a focus on hands-on experience, cost will depend on the length of the course and the campus attended. A quick search on the institutions website or a phone call to an admissions agent should provide the necessary cost information.

For those seeking to work as audio engineers, this course certification is a great start to that career path. Jobs in the music industry include live sound engineer, recording/studio engineer, audio forensics specialist, post-production audio engineer and acoustician. Many of those jobs are also available in other industries that utilize sound outside music and TV/film. Military and government agencies utilize audio engineers for military intelligence. Healthcare has a place for audiologists testing patient hearing; they often work in schools, hospitals, clinics and even assisted living facilities.

Most courses focus on hands-on experience, which means they require on-campus instruction. Commence your sound career with a search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
