YOUR BIGGEST QUESTIONS ANSWERED...
I'm a complete beginner. Is this too advanced for me?
Not at all. This course starts with absolute fundamentals and builds progressively. You don't need any prior DJ experience - everything is explained clearly from the ground up. But there's also plenty of depth for experienced DJs too who want to master trance-specific techniques.
Do I need to own specific DJ gear to take this course?
No. The techniques taught work on any DJ set-up - from beginner controllers to professional CDJs. Ferry teaches on standard DJ gear so anyone can follow, but bonus sections show these methods on both vinyl and entry-level controllers too, so you'll understand how to apply them to whatever gear you use or plan to buy.
What if I get stuck? Do you offer support?
Yes. Digital DJ Tips tutors are available to answer questions and help you work through any challenges. You can ask questions under each lesson, and our community of students is there to support you too. You're never learning alone.
How long will it take me to complete the course?
That's entirely up to you. The course contains many hours of video content across 62 lessons and 32 demos. Some students work through it in a few weeks, others take several months. You have lifetime access, so you can learn at whatever pace suits your schedule and return anytime you need a refresher.
Is this worth the money compared to free YouTube tutorials?
YouTube is great for tips and tricks, but it can't give you a complete, structured system taught by a trance legend. This course takes you from beginner to confident trance DJ with a proven curriculum that builds logically. You get focused training, support when you need it, and techniques you simply won't find for free anywhere else.
Will I be locked into payments, or is this a one-time purchase?
One-time purchase. The price you see is the full price - no subscriptions, no hidden costs. Pay once, own the complete course forever, including any future updates we make. You do have an option to pay over three months, but once you're paid up, you own it for life.
What if I don't like the course? Can I get my money back?
Absolutely. We offer a 12-month money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied for any reason, just contact us within your first year of ownership for a full refund. No questions asked, no hoops to jump through. That's how confident we are you'll love the course!
Does this only apply to trance, or can I use these techniques for other genres?
While the course focuses on mainly on all flavours of trance, the skills you'll learn - harmonic mixing, energy control, long blending, BPM transitions - apply to any melodic electronic music from progressive house to techno. These are universal techniques for mixing melodic dance music properly.
We provide full track listings with links to where you can purchase or stream the music used in the course. The tracks themselves aren't included (that would be illegal), but we make it easy to find and buy or steam them. Most tracks are available on Beatport, iTunes Store, Amazon, Juno, and other major music stores.
Can I access this on my phone/tablet, or is it desktop only?
You can access the course on any device - desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. The course is online-only (not downloadable), but works perfectly on any device with an internet connection. This also means you always get any updates or improvements we make to the course.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT...
There are many choices out there for people wanting to learn DJ skills, from free YouTube videos, all the way up to university courses that demand years of commitment. So why do so many people choose Digital DJ Tips? Here are three big reasons...
1. WE'RE A WELL-KNOWN AND RESPECTED AUTHORITY IN DJING
As well as being an authoritative, respected and globally recognised and Serato certified DJ school, DigitalDJTips.com has since 2010 grown to be one of the biggest DJ tech websites in the world, with 250,000 unique visitors a month. We have established and popular YouTube, Facebook and Instagram channels with over 750,000 followers, and we have a popular weekly live DJ TV show, which is watched by as many as 25,000 DJs each episode. We also wrote the book on DJing, "Rock The Dancefloor!" by Phil Morse (an Amazon bestseller, now in its second edition). We are right where it's happening.
2. OUR TRAINING IS HIGH QUALITY, EFFECTIVE & EASY TO FOLLOW
Since we delivered our very first course in 2011, we've put high quality teaching at the heart of what we do. We have a proven system for teaching that's not only clear so beginners can easily follow along, but also thorough, taking students as far as they want to go, right to pro level. We prefer action over theory, and showing over telling, and we understand that coaching is just as important as information - in fact, information on its own is rarely enough! We also understand that our students have limited time, so all our training is designed to get you results fast, and fit around your busy life.
3. WE HAVE THE BEST COMMUNITY AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Online DJ training is unfortunately a bit of a "Wild West". But unlike many of the operations out there, when you join us, you get much more than just a username and a password. We have a full-time team to make sure you're looked after, and we take our duty of care for you seriously. All courses have in-course tutor help, right on tap. And if you ever need any extra help, with anything from technical stuff to billing enquiries, know that two of our team members are dedicated only to customer support. And of course, with our StudentHub and StudentLive community, you get to participate in the biggest DJ school student network anywhere in the world.

Just like with all of our DJ training, Ferry Corsten's Trance Mixing Masterclass comes with our cast-iron, no questions, 12-month money-back guarantee, which gives you more than enough time to get the results or get your money back - the risk is all ours.
If at any time in your first year of ownership you decide it's not for you (for absolutely any reason), just tell us and we'll refund you with a smile. Nobody else offers a guarantee like this.
