Welcome to Fast Forward Music
Educational institution In Nottingham
Welcome to Fast Forward, your premier DJ & Music Production Academy nestled in the vibrant heart of Nottingham! At Fast Forward, we pride ourselves on our inclusive approach, catering to students of all levels, from secondary to post-16 Level 1 and 2.
We’re especially proud to partner with schools across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, actively supporting their graduated response model to reduce student exclusions. Our daily mission involves working closely with Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire Council to re-engage key stage 3 & 4 students who have faced permanent exclusions.
With a diverse range of RSL accredited courses, including the six-week Reengagement DJ/Producer Certificate, the twelve-week RSL Grade 1 in Music Tech, or our premier year-long RSL Level 1 in Creative Music Industry—they’re guaranteed a gratifying educational journey we offer qualifications tailored to students of all ages. This pathway leads to our Level 2 in the Creative Music Industry covering performance, production, composition, live events and entrepreneurship.
Join us on a journey of musical exploration and skill development at Fast Forward!”
