Duration: 3 Years (6 Semesters)
Location: First 3 Semesters at B4M NHQ, followed by OJT
Specializations for OJT: Studio Engineering, Music Production, Sound Design, Live Sound Engineering
On-the-Job Training (OJT) and Specialization:
During the final three semesters, students will complete their OJT, choosing a specialization from Studio Engineering, Music Production, Sound Design, or Live Sound Engineering. While specializing, students will also complete Mixing & Mastering, a mandatory module for all, which provides essential skills applicable across all areas of audio production.
Throughout the OJT:
• Log Book Maintenance: Students must document their OJT progress in an official OJT log book, signed regularly by their supervisor.
• Academic Activities: Students will continue academic activities alongside their hands-on training.
• Examinations: Mid-term and semester examinations require student's physical presence at B4M NHQ.
