If you're serious about pursuing a career in the exciting and highly competitive audio industry, you're going to need an edge.

Located in beautiful North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, HIT will help you develop both your creative and technical talents. Combining classroom theory with applied practical application, the school guides you through all aspects of the recording and post production processes.

HIT differs from other audio schools, because here you're always in the studio environment. Class sizes remain small so everyone gets a complete 'hands on' education. We provide every student with their own classroom digital audio workstation, loaded with the latest software and hardware, which functions as their own mini production studio.

Our courses cover the most widely used professional audio software programs, recording platforms, and production equipment: Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton Live, and more.

Other subjects covered in the full time Audio Engineering and Music Production Program include Record Production, Electronic Music and Beat Creation, Surround Sound Mixing and Mastering, Sound Design, Music Business, Sound for Film and New Media, Digital Post Production, Songwriting, Studio Design, Music Theory, Live Sound, and more.

Harbourside Institute of Technology is one of Canada's only Digi Design Sponsored Schools. Pro Tools certification programs are included in our full time audio engineering programs, or can be taken separately.

Harbourside offers several Audio Engineering Programs:
