Book a tour, speak to an advisor, or check out our studios. We’re just around the corner.
Less talk. More tech.
Here’s the thing, audio engineering isn’t a “sit and memorise” type of course. It’s physical. It’s hands-on. And it’s full of the kind of messy, experimental energy that you only learn by doing.
At Oakfields, you’ll spend time in our control rooms, behind the desk, with real gear in your hands. From day one.
🎛️ You’ll record.
🎙️ You’ll mic.
🎧 You’ll mix.
And somewhere along the way, you’ll stop thinking of yourself as a “student” and start realising, you’re already doing the work.
Just 10 minutes from Brooklyn but years ahead in relevance
Oakfields College Pretoria is based inside Lynnridge Mall, meaning there’s no need to cross the city or sit in traffic to find a studio that actually works. We’ve got everything you need to sound legit:
- Studio rooms built for real sessions
- ProTools, Cubase, full plugin racks
- Live sound rigs
- Mixing consoles
- Sound design environments for film, gaming, and podcasts
Whether you’re heading here after school, after work, or between gigs, it’s easy. Accessible. And completely tuned in to where the industry’s going.
So what do you actually learn?
We’re glad you asked. This isn’t a tick-box course, it’s a full-blown foundation for a career in audio.
You’ll cover:
- The fundamentals of sound and how it actually works
- Signal flow, gain staging, mic placement, and soundproofing
- Live sound engineering and events
- Studio recording and production
- Digital mixing and mastering
- Sound design for film, video, and media
- Portfolio building that shows what you can do, not just what you know
And yes, you’ll work with industry software and real gear, not just classroom slides.
Your lecturers don’t just teach, they engineer
This isn’t school in the old sense. Our audio lecturers are working professionals. They’re tracking artists, mixing projects, and showing up to gigs then coming in to share what actually matters.
They’ll give you real feedback. They’ll challenge your ears. And they’ll show you how to translate a passion for sound into a workflow that gets results.
Who signs up for this? (Hint: probably someone like you)
A lot of our students come from Brooklyn, Menlo Park, Waterkloof, and all around Pretoria East. Some are fresh out of school. Others have dabbled in music production for years and are finally formalising it.
You’ll find DJs, podcasters, musicians, media creators and a few career-shifters who decided it was time to finally study something they care about. And because our class sizes are small, you’re not lost in a lecture hall. You’re seen. Heard. Mentored.
