i kinda agree with steve there. it is a bit of an odd course to do. but i can see the educational advantages.

the problem with getting an apprenticeship steve is that everyone and their dog is trying to get one but theres a lot less studios about these days so i can see where jay is coming from.

jay, have a look into doing the pro-tools course in conjunction with the mastering, that would give you a couple of nice qualifications.
