We’re very sorry to read this and understand how upsetting this situation feels. We’d like to clarify our position clearly.

This is not a scam or fraud. We operate according to clear terms and transparent policies, and we take these matters very seriously. In this specific case, there was no active subscription or Campus annual renewal involved.

We also want to be very clear on one important point: we fully respect our policy, and any dissatisfied customer is always refunded. We do not withhold refunds, and we do not benefit in any way from unresolved or disputed situations.

To properly assist you, we need to review your account details, which we cannot do through a public comment. We kindly ask you to contact us directly through the official support references so our team can review your case and resolve it as quickly as possible.

We’re here to help and to make sure everything is handled fairly and correctly.

No service at all!

The course isn’t really for me. I asked for a refund for 3 times. But still no answer from them after 1 month.
I recieved one bot-mail to make an appointement but there are no more slots to book a call.

Would be glad to recieve a refund!

Feels like a scam!

The course itself is ok for beginners

Dj Nirvana with Pete Tong & Friends

My learning experience was quite amazing! Learning from new technologies and different point of views from different dj teachers, enriched my musical life in general. The course is well constructed, but I think one excercise is missing. That would be to bpm match two tracks without headphones like you would do on stage with reference monitors. It was a sublime experience! Your assistants for the help desk were not that helpful, but this course is a 5/5 to me. I will send a video mixing with a four channel mixer and 1000 RMX mixer to show you all you taught me. GOD BLESS YOU ALL! AMEN

Didn’t benefit a bit

Didn’t benefit a bit , I got lot more in crossfader YouTube and this is not advertising to any , we were promised VR experience and we were promised lot of tech for transitions , and we got only volume transition and queuing !!! it’s not value for money at all , let the legend be legends , it’s developing art and they don’t have anything new other than same equipments and same discussions .

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts — we truly appreciate all feedback and are sorry to hear you didn’t feel the course met your needs.

We’d like to clarify a few points about what the DJ course includes and how it’s structured, so that other readers have a clear understanding as well.

Our DJ course is designed as a comprehensive education in DJing, covering both practical techniques and broader professional skills. It includes structured video lessons, practical exercises, downloadable resources, community interaction, and mentor sessions — guiding students through everything from basic mixing fundamentals to advanced performance concepts.

We understand you were expecting a VR experience and highly technical transition tools. At this time, the platform does not include virtual reality (VR) components as part of the core curriculum; the training is delivered through video lessons and interactive campus features. The course does dive into transition techniques, including a range of mixing methods such as volume control, beatmatching, EQing, effects, cueing, phrasing, and performance flow — with the aim of building real-world DJ skills that can be applied on any setup.

We also want to highlight that many students value the holistic nature of the curriculum, which blends technical skills (beatmatching, transitions, gear setup) with creative insight, career guidance, and industry context from world-class DJs and producers — something frequently mentioned in positive reviews across Trustpilot.

That said, we recognize that every learner has unique goals:

Some are looking for highly technical, gear-specific tutorials,
Others want artistic or industry insight,
And some prefer hands-on classroom-style training.
Our course strives to balance these elements within an online format — but it may not perfectly match every individual’s expectations.

We’re always looking to improve our communication about what’s included, and your feedback helps us refine how we present the course to future students. If you’d like to revisit specific lessons or get help with advanced techniques, our support team and live mentoring sessions are available to assist.

Wishing you the best in your DJ journey and continued growth behind the decks.

It was a very good experience

It was a very good experience, hearing from each of the teachers their experiences and experiences throughout their career was quite enriching, I highly recommend it to people who are starting out and also to those who have been in this field for some time. You will find valuable information that will help you improve your DJ set and career in general. A hug to Pete and the entire Crew.

Learn from the people who play the events you dream of playing.

The technical lessons were very well done. PTDJA covered the basics in a way that makes it simple for DJ's on any level and progressed into more advanced technique by having the instructors not just tell you what to do but demonstrate in a way that makes it easier to follow. I came in with the basics but was quickly reminded of things that I forgot or in a few cases never learned. Beyond the technical aspects I enjoyed the interview sections the most, hearing from each of the instructors, who actively play at the most sort after venues, gave me a lot of new ideas on my approach to not just performing at these venues but how to obtain the gigs as well.

sometimes the camera doesn't show the full view of decks. like the one on Section Downbeat which is really disappointing !!!
I was expecting some more explanations on different gears such as consoles to be included. for example I use XDJ-RX3 and some buttons the coach is talking about on a video seem to be missing on my consol.
I also think they should be more precise about assignments and how to start using the console. I had to google many things before getting the first exercise done which was so inconvenient and nerve-racking.
