How to become a sound engineer
At Seamedu, we offer three distinct courses across two campuses for those aspiring to enter the exciting world of sound engineering. Our sound engineering courses in Bangalore and Pune allow students from a wide geographic swath the opportunity to pursue their dream of working with sound.
We offer three distinct programs to prospective sound engineering students – diploma in sound engineering, certificate program in live sound, and degree courses in sound engineering. The educational requirements for students looking to enter these fields are not just restricted to those with a science background either. Any student with a 10+2 education in any stream is welcome to apply for these courses.
The diploma in sound engineering is a 12-month long course featuring seven modules.
