The Scholarship

The Charlie Jones Scholarship is linked to SSR’s Audio Engineering course, and is intended for young people who would otherwise not be able to afford this type of training.

Applicants for the scholarship must also have a goal of working in the live sound industry.

There will be 1 scholarship place per intake of the Audio Engineering Course (intakes are every six months). Scholarship places are funded by Helen Jones, Wigwam and SSR, on a rotational basis.

The scholarship is worth in excess of £7,000 per candidate and we are looking for special people to realise their ambitions.

Audio Engineering Techniques & Technology is designed to train you for a future career as a professional in a wide range of audio-related industries.

During training, you gain an in-depth knowledge of a broad range of sound-related skills, including audio engineering, music production and post-production techniques.

The course combines theoretical teaching with a vast amount of practical classes and hands-on studio time. This ensures that you graduate not only with the relevant knowledge, but also with the experience necessary to accomplish all the elements of an audio-based project.
