FULL TIME AUDIO PROGRAMME INTRODUCTION

The audio engineering industry is very competitive. It demands the highest levels of professionalism
and dedication and in return offers fabulous rewards and great fulfilment to those who succeed in
it. Our objective at ALCHEMEA is to enable you to share in those rewards.

Our full time courses are designed to provide you with the knowledge, experience and confidence
to compete in this industry to the best of your ability. We aim to produce not graduate students,
but industry professionals. We are also proud to be the South of England’s only Digidesign Pro
School and an Apple Authorised Training Centre. It is these manufacturer accreditations that
provide employers with the guarantee that you are able to manipulate industry standard tools like
Pro Tools and Logic Pro quickly and accurately.

There are a number of points that distinguish ALCHEMEA from other colleges and courses
you may be considering:

State of the art equipment: ALCHEMEA has excellent studio facilities and equipment that
is regularly updated:

• 5.1 Cinema Dubbing Theatre based around Digidesign’s flagship ICON D-Control work
surface
• Euphonix CS3000 control room: Pro Tools HD3 Accel, great outboard & Otari MTR90 2”
tape machine
• SSL G-series control room, analogue outboard & Otari MTR90 2” tape machine
• Electronic Music Production Room: Virus, Nord, NI Komplete, Waves diamond bundle +
much more!
• Apple Training Room. Every student uses their own Imac G5, Digidesign M-box and Radium
Keyboard
• Mac G5 and PC workstations loaded with all the latest music production software.
• 3 fully routable live recording areas including vocal booth

Practical learning time: There is no substitute for experience. Diploma students at

ALCHEMEA have on average at least 30 hours of individual practical time every week, and the
studios are open and supervised 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. None of our competitors give you
this much studio time to practise techniques, master equipment, and build up confidence and
experience.

Quality of education: We limit the size of our classes to ten, allowing personal attention for
each student. Theory is taught to enhance understanding of equipment operation and audio
techniques and to enable you to understand new technology as it appears.

Equipment included: Every Diploma student receives a 2GHz Apple MacBook and a Pro Tools
Mbox Mini as part of their Diploma course. Studio Assistant Certificate students receive just the
Pro Tools Mbox Mini.

Educational discounts on equipment: As a student at Alchemea you are able to benefit from
the fantastic deals we receive on hardware and software from the leading music tech
manufacturers. 40% on Pro Tools LE products and over 60% on Logic Pro. Discounts are also
available when buying Cubase, Reason and many other products.

ALCHEMEA achieves results. 85% of diploma graduates find employment within 6 months.
We are confident that no other audio engineering college offers courses of this quality. Come and
visit us, talk to our students and see for yourself. We strongly recommend you visit
ALCHEMEA before applying for a course here: our courses are very intensive and may not
appeal to everyone. However, if you enjoy hard work in a creative and demanding environment and
genuinely intend to achieve success in this industry, then ALCHEMEA will be the right choice
for you.

 Logic 101: “ An Introduction to Logic Express 8 and Logic Pro 8”

Course Description

This course is integrated into the Alchemea Diploma and introduces students to the
primary features and basic user interface of Logic Pro. Students learn how to
generate a customized audio and midi configuration that will seamlessly integrate
with their own personal production studio. Students also create their own song
using Logic Pro’s comprehensive array of software instruments, Apple Loops and
DSP effects. In-depth lessons will cover MIDI and audio recording, streamlined
editing and arrangement techniques, user defined key commands, automation,
scoring to picture and surround mixing. This course uses the Apple Pro Training
Series book (and DVD) “ Logic Pro 8 and Logic Express 8,” by David Nahmani.

Certification

One of the main aims of this course is to prepare students for Apple’s Certified Pro
examinations. These industry-recognised qualifications are a useful addition to your
CV demonstrating that you are a confident and knowledgeable Logic Pro 8 user. At
Alchemea we include one attempt at the Level 1 Logic Pro Certification Exam as
part of this course.

One attempt at this exam is included in the cost of the Alchemea Diploma course.
The pass mark is 80% and if you pass you become an "Apple Certified Pro" (Level 1).
You also get a nice certificate from Apple!

Once you have passed you Level 1 exam you can then progress to take Apple’s 3-
day “Logic 301 course (Logic 8 Beyond The Basics).” While this module is not
included in the Diploma, students can take it as a weekend course and also benefit
from a 30% discount on the normal short course price.

Logic Pro Level One certification also counts towards the new Logic Studio Master
Pro certification. Master certification recognizes a user’s skills with the entire Logic
Studio product suite. Since workflow is such a significant component, users need
certification in at least two of the applications to earn Master Certification.

If you prefer to learn on your own or believe you already have the necessary skill-set
in your chosen application you may attempt the Level 1 exam at Alchemea for £75.
To register for the exam only, which can only be taken on-site at an Apple Certified
Training Centre please contact Alchemea’s College Manager Jim Bryden. You are
required to have an Apple Tech ID number before registering for any Apple exam.
You can apply for a Tech ID by following the instructions at certifications.apple.com.

Alchemea students also have access to the “Alchemea Apple Store” and enjoy
Massive Savings on Apple products. The good news is that you can buy Logic Studio
for £119 (rrp £319)

How many digital audio workstations?

As well as our studio and classroom computers we have 6 dedicated DAW’s (Digital Audio Workstations):
4 x Apple Power Mac’s and 2 x High spec PC’s using Digidesign M-Box sound cards. All are loaded up with
all the latest sequencing software, virtual instruments and audio plug-ins. You can also patch in to any of the
live recording areas.

What about lectures and classroom facilities?

Alchemea has 2 classrooms both with workstation controlled projection systems. The primary setting for
Diploma & SAC lectures is our Apple Training Room. It is also used for the short evening and weekend
courses. Every effort has been made to create the optimum training environment. The room is air-
conditioned, lighting is controllable and the furniture has been custom designed for comfort. The room has
been acoustically treated and instructors use a wireless mic system to ensure that students can hear (and
that instructors don’t lose their voice!).
In the classroom students benefit from the use of their own Apple (Intel) iMac, Digidesign M Box and M-
Audio Radium 49 keyboard. The iMac’s are loaded with all the latest music production software and
instructors can take control of student’s workstations via Apple Desktop Pro.

Alchemea is committed to providing the highest standard of practical hands on audio training using the
latest technology.

Is my qualification industry recognised?

Alchemea has the enviable reputation of being one of the leading providers of audio education in the world.
Our standards are high. Our courses are vocational, practically orientated, intensive, and require real
commitment. Because of this employers recognise that our successful students not only have the practical
“real world” skills but have also acclimatised to the pressures of a demanding workplace.

Alchemea is the only Digidesign “Pro School” in the South of England. Diploma student’s have the option to
take Digidesign’ s Pro Tools Operator Certification Course (210). If you pass the online exam then you will
become a “Digidesign Certified Operator”. You will also be awarded a certificate from Digidesign and be
listed as an operator their website. This qualification is a guarantee to employers that you are competent
and confident on what is now the industry standard application for music and post-production.
Alchemea are also an Authorised Apple Training Centre and we integrate the Logic 101 course and
certification exam into the Diploma. We are also an Ableton Certified Training Centre!

How many students per course?

20 students per enrolment. There are 3 courses running at any given time (each course at a different stage).
So the maximum number of students at Alchemea at any time is 60. That’s it.

What is the maximum class size?

10. We do not believe that large class sizes allow for the necessary level of individual attention from our
tutors. We also appreciate that students learn at differing paces and want to ensure that no one falls
behind. For some practical lessons each class is split into even smaller class sizes.

How many hours of individual practical time will I get?

Here is the maths: 13 facilities, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, divided by 60 students = 30.8 hours per
student per week. In fact we GUARANTEE that by the end of your course you will have accumulated at
least 1080 hours of individual practical time. That’s an average of over 30 hours per week – guaranteed.
This is why we are renowned for providing more individual practical time in our studios and on our
workstations than any other college.

Whilst central to the Alchemea method that an individual learns best by "doing" rather than watching
someone else, assisting others is useful too and so encouraged. This time is in ADDITION to the 30 hours
per week we guarantee. Smaller classes have the chance to book even more practical time.

How do these hours compare to a full time University Course?

480 hours per year is the normal amount of lecture time AND "lab" work for what universities regard as
an intensely practical, as against the classical "reading" type degree. So the Alchemea Diploma Course gives
you more practical time than you would get in a 3-year degree course. Also at Alchemea this will be
individual time, whereas at a university this time will almost certainly be shared with other students.

Is the college really open 24/7?

Yes. Apart from a 2- week shut down period for maintenance / studio upgrades in June and over Christmas,
we never close! Our facilities are available to our students and fully supervised 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. You are allocated (and can book extra) practical time day or night – whichever suits you.

Can I meet the students, both past and present?

Yes, in fact we encourage you to do so. We also invite ex-students to our open days so that you can chat
to them and find out what they are up to now. Beware of colleges who don’t let prospective students meet
current or past ones!

Will I get a job when I finish the course?

Well, nothing is guaranteed but our statistics speak for themselves: to date over 85% of our Diploma
graduates have begun their careers in their chosen field within 6 months of leaving Alchemea. Ask to see
the list of graduates or look at "Student Profiles" on the web site www.alchemea.com to see what some of
our ex-students are up to in the big bad world.
Does the college actively help its graduates get a job?

Yes. An industry professional with extensive experience as a studio manager provides training in CV
preparation, interview technique and job hunting. Recording studios, recognising the quality of Alchemea
graduates regularly contact us when looking for staff. I

Alchemea’s College Manager is also our dedicated key link between the studios and the students and is
there to help guide you into the workplace. If you work hard, achieve good result, have a positive attitude
and are a nice person we will forward you for interview.

I can see ALCHEMEA is well equipped, has a very high employment success rate and I probably will
have a great time, but isn't it far more expensive than a University course?

A 3 year University course will offer you far less individual hands on practical time and about the same
amount of lecture time as the Alchemea Diploma course, it will almost certainly be of a lower standard
too. This will cost a typical student £9,000 a year. In fairness, some university courses will allow you
enough free time to get a paid part-time job,. This may be very character building in some ways but
remember you will be 2 to 3 years older when trying to enter the job market. There is a chance you will
also be deeper in debt. 3 years after starting the Alchemea Diploma you could be fully trained, over 2 years
into your first job and clear of debt.

Our main goal at Alchemea is to give students the skills and confidence to carve a successful
career in the Pro Audio Industry. Please contact Tony Garston to find out more about how
Alchemea can help you into the industry.

ALCHEMEA COLLEGE FULL TIME COURSE REGISTRATION AGREEMENT
1. Definitions
1.1 The following words, as explained, are used in this registration agreement:
a. “Course” - means the series of classes and practical studio work in which the student is enrolled.
b. “Registration Fee” - means the sum of money paid by the student to reserve a place in one of ALCHEMEA’s courses.
c. “College” - means ALCHEMEA College of Audio Engineering and/or its appointed agents.
d. “Student” - means the signatory of these terms and conditions.
e. “Studio” - means the studios and workstations provided for students both in the college premises and outside.
2. Fees & Refunds
2.1 The student agrees to pay the full registration fee upon application and the tuition fee or first instalment at least one month before the date of commencement.
2.2 If the student does not pay the tuition fee or first instalment within one month of the commencement date, his or her place may be offered to another student.
2.3 The registration fee is not refundable. A student may change course dates or course type at no cost by giving us at least one calendar month’s notice prior to the
commencement of the course the student is booked on at the time. If notice of less than one calendar month is given, the registration fee will be forfeited. The
student may book onto another course but a new registration fee will be payable.
2.4 If a student’s loan is refused or a student visa is rejected, ALCHEMEA will refund any registration fee minus a £40 administration charge.
2.5 The Alchemea instalment plan is only available for students from European Union countries. Students who fail to keep up with repayments will be suspended from
the course. Alchemea reserves the right to take whatever action is necessary to recover the outstanding debt, including taking legal action and referring the
outstanding balance to a debt collection agency. Such actions will have a negative impact on the student's credit rating and will affect his/her ability to apply for
credit in the future

3. Content of Course
3.1 The Student understands that the College is entitled to change the content of the course in which the student is enrolled at any time, allowing for new topics to be
introduced and inappropriate topics to be deleted, without prior notice.

4. Studio use
4.1 The student is responsible for ensuring that none of the equipment is damaged or stolen as a direct or indirect result of a failure on his or her part to exercise
reasonable care in use of the equipment made available for their use.
4.2 If a student invites a guest or guests (e.g. musicians) into the ALCHEMEA studios, it is the student’s responsibility to make sure the guest(s) observe these rules and
regulations.
4.3 In the event that the equipment in the studio is not functioning during the student’s use of the studio, the student agrees to notify the supervisor immediately giving
full details of the fault.
4.4 In the event that the equipment in the studio(s) is damaged or stolen during the student’s use of the studio as a result of failure on his or her part to exercise
reasonable care in the studio(s), the student agrees to pay within twenty one (21) days all costs relevant to replacing, repairing or hiring replacements for such
equipment.
4.5 The College reserves the right to cancel the student’s booked studio time. All attempts will be made to notify the student of such cancellation. Times lost due to such
cancellation will be re-booked in favour of the student.

5. Cancellation
5.1 If a student does not attend lectures for 3 whole weeks, the College will regard such a non-attendance as implied cancellation of the course; any fees not paid will
become immediately due. Exceptions may be made on humanitarian grounds.

6 Attendance
6.1 The student will not be allowed to attend lectures or studio time, if his or her fees are not paid in full or instalment payments are in arrears.
6.2 Students are expected to attend all theory lectures and all practical sessions whether within the college studios or in an external environment. Non-attendance does
not excuse the students from paying fees.
6.3 Failure to reach the high standard of work and commitment required can result in a formal warning given to the student, and if this poor performance persists, the
student’s course will be terminated, and no refund in part or whole of the fees will apply.
6.4 Special importance is given to practical time. Students will have to complete all exercises set in the curriculum, engineering sessions as outlined during the course.
Since the college is open 24 hours a day, it will be expected that students will be required to work through the night. When practical work requires students to
attend venues outside ALCHEMEA, it is the student’s responsibility to get to the venue on time.
6.5 If a student is found taking food or drink into a control room or recordings area, they will receive a verbal warning from a senior staff member. If this happens a
second time they will forfeit their next practical session in that facility.

7 Conduct
7.1 ALCHEMEA promotes equal opportunities. Abusive behaviour and / or discrimination based upon sex, age or ethnic origin will not be tolerated. ALCHEMEA employs a
disciplinary procedure and a possible outcome of a student’s hearing is expulsion.

7 Accreditation
7.1 Students are assessed throughout the course, on a competency basis. A report is drafted on each student, and that report is the basis of the SAC and / or the
diploma. The pass mark is 50% and to attain the “Diploma” a student must achieve 70%. Students must score 90% or over on their online Digidesign 210 exam to
become a “Digidesign Certified Operator”. If a student fails the 210 exam on a second attempt, Digidesign will charge a fee for re-examination. For up to date
information regarding this fee visit the training area of www.digidesign.com

Overseas Students ALCHEMEA is an International College, assisting both local and overseas applicants in achieving their goals. Providing the requirements are met,
ALCHEMEA will assist overseas students in obtaining a Student’s Visa where required. Please contact the college for further details.

Media Pack The course fees include storage media that should be sufficient to complete assignments set. If additional media is required permission must be gained to use
magnetic media not supplied by ALCHEMEA. Magnetic media can be purchased from the college, at reduced prices. SAC & Diploma students receive a Digidesign Mbox Mini
soundcard with Pro Tools LE software as part of the course. Diploma students also receive an Apple MacBook computer. The MacBook will only become the students property
once ALCHEMEA have received 35% of the total amount payable.

Class Sizes & Schedules As a rule, lecture class size will be restricted to ten students. For this reason we encourage students not to change classes during the course.
There may be occasions (for example seminars / workshops) when classes will be combined.

Outside Work When it is necessary for students to take equipment out of the premises, this should be pre-arranged, and equipment, signed for. It is advisable for students
to arrange insurance on equipment themselves, since they are personally liable for any damage or loss of the equipment. The proof of insurance might be requested prior to
lending of the equipment. This insurance can be arranged via the college. Equipment is only allowed out of the premises if it is being used as part of the course.

Equal Opportunities Policy ALCHEMEA admits students of any race, colour, national and ethnic origin. ALCHEMEA does not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, sex,
sexual orientation, handicap or national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and other college administered
programmes.

Job Opportunities Students who receive their Diploma and display a good attitude during their studies will be put forward for job interviews as they arise. ALCHEMEA has
strong links with leading studios these employers recognise the quality of our graduates. ALCHEMEA is pro-active in assisting students with CV preparation and we have a
dedicated staff member who assists students to find employment.

Please ensure that you have read and understood this registration agreement before applying for a course of study at ALCHEMEA.
