F.I.R.S.T. Institute

"Love this place! Went through their audio engineering program and learned so much. My instructors were super knowledgeable and broke things down in such a way that made it all make sense. The hands on aspect is no joke I got to work with super cool equipment. The recording studio section was my favorite aspect of it all. I’d say if you really want a career in audio this is a place you need to check out!"

"Great experience! Teachers very knowledgeable! I now know multiple platforms for editing, story and movie creation, and script writing! I'm glad I went through this program and the sky is the limit! Skills gained are definitely in competition with the pros after this experience! Thank you F.I.R.S.T!!!"

"I attend FIRST in January. Since then the professor help me achieve what I wanted to achieve. They understand what we need as a student. The pace was perfect for me since I work and school at the same time. I enjoy every little time I spent in the classroom with the teacher and my classmates. It was amazing. I would recommend FIRST to anyone that’s looking for an audio engineering school."

"I went for the digital film making and video production. Great school you can tell the instructors really care about the students. I liked the small class sizes you don’t get lost in the fray like a big college campus. The curriculum is a good balance of live production, videography, film and editing. Overall I would recommend it for someone interested in video production."

"Honestly coming in with next to no knowledge minus high school ap music theory and high school concert band I have learned so much from here. With the instructors really caring about their jobs and taking time to teach you about the real world. They truly care about all the students and want them to succeed even taking time out from before class to help you fully understand what’s going on. I came in knowing nothing and came out top of my class in the honors program. I owe this school and the instructors and the program directors everything for all the have taught me. Shout out to Genoveva Valle, the program director, and my instructors who really saw me blossom into the audio engineer that I am today. I could go on more about how awesome this school is but it would be a novel."
