Can I start the Dolby Atmos or Pro Tools course immediately after subscribing?

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

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
