[Certification](https://support.engineears.com/en/knowledge-base/certification?hsLang=en) # Can I start the Dolby Atmos or Pro Tools course immediately after subscribing? ## The Dolby Atmos Certification and Pro Tools courses are instructor-led programs, not on-demand or self-start courses that you can start at any time. #### How the courses actually work These courses are structured as **cohort-based, instructor-led experiences**, which means: - You **cannot start the course immediately after subscribing** - Courses run on **scheduled dates throughout the year** - Each course has a **set start date, timeline, and instructor guidance** - There are **limited seats per cohort** While the curriculum includes self-paced elements, the course itself is not freely accessible on demand. It is tied to a live, guided program. --- #### Why is it part of an annual membership? Your **annual membership does not automatically enroll you in a course**. Instead, it gives you: - **Eligibility to register** for a course when enrollment opens - Access to join **one of the scheduled cohorts within your membership year** --- #### How do I register for a course? We announce upcoming course dates in advance. To secure your spot, you must register when enrollment opens. ### You’ll be notified through: - **Email announcements** - The EngineEars Community 👉 [https://engineears.com/community](https://engineears.com/community) It is your responsibility to: - Keep an eye on announcements - Register before the deadline - Secure your seat before the cohort fills up --- #### What happens if I miss registration? If you do not register in time: - You will need to wait for the **next available cohort** - There is **no guarantee of immediate availability**, as courses are not always running back-to-back --- #### Key things to know before subscribing - Courses are **not instantly accessible after payment** - They are **not fully self-paced programs you can start anytime** - You must **wait for announced dates and register** - Seats are **limited and first come, first served** --- #### Summary If you're subscribing specifically for the course, make sure you understand: - You’re paying for **access to register**, not immediate access to the course - You’ll need to **watch for announcements and sign up when enrollment opens** - The course is a **guided, instructor-led experience with a fixed schedule** --- #### Need help? If you have questions about upcoming cohorts, feel free to reach out to the support team or check the community for the latest updates.
