Q: Is it possible to double up on classes and finish both semesters at one time?
A: No. Because of class scheduling several of the classes are
taught simultaneously making it impossible to attend them both.
Secondly, the Live Sound Certificate is an intensive program that
covers an extensive amount of information. Taking more than four
classes at a time would inhibit your ability to obtain the level of
proficiency that we would like you to achieve.
Q: How much does your school cost?
A: The Live Sound/Sound Reinforcement Certificate is a 28 credit
hour certificate. The price per credit hour varies based on your area of residence and the number of hours being taken at one time. The
certificate, if taken in two semesters, could cost as little as $5,000 to $6,000 for tuition and fees. For more information on tuition cost and fees please visit www.southplainscollege.edu.
Q: What is a Level 1 Certificate?
