Here in Australia the only ones I've Heard are JMC acedamy and SAE Institute. I was considering studying at one of these places and am planning to apply for a scholarship [just out of school and figure, why not? someone else is paying, i get the benefits.]

But i cant afford the school, and don't really wanna be in debt for school loans etc and id much rather spend thousands of dollars on equipment, room acoustics, Brandons book or even a studio..

It seems that in Australia, you dont NEED formal qualifications but if your trying to get in the industry [live sound/music production] and you have a degree or diploma people will give you a chance as you are being tought things by "professionals and you should be able to be trusted with the multi million dollar gear

Also, a lot can depend on WHO you know rather than WHAT you know.

I know of a lot of dumb shits that have been given a chance cos they knew someone while people who have n ide of whats goin get left in the corner to fight for a chance
