Diploma in Sound Engineering & Recording Arts
A career program, not a hobby class.
A career-focused diploma covering recording, mixing and live sound — training the ears and hands behind every great record, film and concert.
The Diploma in Sound Engineering & Recording Arts is a regular weekday program (Mon–Fri) taught inside a working studio — immersive, practical and deadline-driven. Students learn by doing: real sessions, real equipment, real projects, mentored by working producers and engineers.
Over 12 months you move from fundamentals to a professional workflow, and graduate with a portfolio, a capstone project and the Merkabah Diploma · Capstone Project — ready for studio work, freelance clients or your own releases.
What you will receive
Learn on real consoles, microphones and DAWs inside a working studio — never simulations or passive videos.
Sessions led by working producers and engineers with real credits across music, film and live sound.
Record, mix and produce actual artists and events during the program — the work is the classroom.
Graduate with a finished body of work — a portfolio EP or capstone project you can show clients and studios.
Pricing your services, finding clients, studio etiquette and the pathways into the industry after graduation.
Continuous practical assessment through the program, ending in a Merkabah certification or diploma.
