Our Program 

HOW DOES THE TRAINING WORK?

We contract with Radio/TV Stations, Recording Studios/Record Companies, and Film/Video Production companies to train and mentor aspiring talented apprentices.

Our method is not new. It is a throwback to the apprentice method of training during the Renaissance period. In the 12th century, if you wanted to be an artist you didn't go to school, you went to work for an artist and you were not paid for your labor. On the contrary, you paid for the privilege of working for free. And people stood in line to do it with the right master. If your father wasn't already doing it, or your uncle or at least a cousin, it was the only way to enter a profession. 

The inevitable employment through our apprentice program is in large part due to the fact that training is always done ONE-ON-ONE. One student apprentice, one instructor or mentor.

A mentor is a professional in the field, for example the Program Director/Production Director of a local radio and TV station, the owner or Chief Engineer of a recording studio, or a Film Producer or Director who dreads the day when they might have to sort through the resumes of college graduates who haven't a clue what the business is really all about.

Rather than the faceless resume, it is far more realistic to expect that they will hire their own private student apprentice that they have hand-picked, groomed and taught on the job in the real world.

CAN I WORK THIS AROUND MY PRESENT JOB AND SCHEDULE?

If accepted, your training can take place during your off-hours, evenings and weekends and can be completed in four to nine months. Because these apprentice programs are self-paced and literally one-on-one, they can accommodate any schedule. No matter what your schedule might be, you can fit this in. It might take you longer to finish, but you can definitely do it. You can't use that old excuse that you don't have time to do what you've always wanted to do.

The expectations are that most applicants can manage at least once-a-week sessions in the beginning and let that weekly assignment session “evolve” into the needs and requirements of the parties involved. The nature of the “relationship” is that it can be adjusted from once-a-week meetings, to five times a week, to once every month and everything in between. It can be stopped, put on hold, sped up, slowed down, or moved to another city if need be.

WHAT DOES THE PLACEMENT INCLUDE? 

You will receive the same text material and homework assignments of any school, college or university program. (The Film and video curriculum and any pertinent textbooks or manuals is determined by the individual mentor). The difference - and it's a big difference - is that your mentor/instructor in our program will not be a college professor or a grad student with 30 – 60, or more, other students vying for attention in a classroom or lecture hall, but a working veteran – a professional who is currently in the field - the Program Director, Chief Audio Engineer, Film Producer or Director.

REALISTICALLY, WHAT KINDS OF JOBS ARE AVAILABLE TO ME?

Be prepared to start at the bottom of the ladder, and you may have to keep your day job to pay the rent, at least at first. Starting off usually begins with part-time work, nights and weekends, the hours no one with a lot of experience wants. But the opportunities are endless. They are created through your talent, drive, hard work, cooperation and your association and one-on-one rapport with your mentor. They are created from being there... from just doing it... from being the right person, at the right time with the right contacts.

Many of our apprentices are hired very early on in their training, months away from formal completion of the program. As with all aspects of life and work, talent is usually recognized and rewarded when you make your desires known, but you must be given the opportunity to display your potential and abilities in the proper arena where it will do some good - on site and on-the-job.
