How the course works, what it costs, and how plans work for firms and the bodies that run the music business.
About the course
- What is Learn the Music Industry?
- Learn the Music Industry is an interactive course that teaches how the music industry's money actually works (royalties, deals, publishing, touring and tax) through worked examples and live simulators. It is built for the professionals who advise on it: music accountants, business managers, analysts and lawyers, not for beginner artists.
- Who is it for?
- It is for professionals who advise the music industry: accountants and business managers new to music clients, fund and catalogue analysts, lawyers, and label and publishing staff.
- How is it taught?
- Each lesson is interactive: you predict an answer, drag to allocate money, and run live simulators before the concept is confirmed and deepened. Every figure is sourced in the lesson's facts table and every simulator is a separately unit-tested formula, so the numbers do not drift.
- How much does it cost?
- Firms pay one flat price per firm by team size: £300 a month up to 5 people, £500 up to 10, £900 up to 20. Teams over 20 are priced bespoke. Annual billing gives two months free.
Pricing
- How much does it cost to train a team on the music industry?
- Firms pay one flat price per firm by team size, not per seat: £300 a month up to 5 people, £500 up to 10, £900 up to 20. Teams over 20 are priced bespoke. Annual billing gives two months free, and every plan starts with a free trial.
- Is there a plan for a solo adviser?
- Pricing is firm-only. A solo adviser can still work through the free preview. If you advise as a small team, the Micro firm band covers up to 5 people at £300 a month.
- How does firm pricing work?
- Firm pricing is one flat price for the whole firm, banded by team size: Micro covers up to 5 people at £300 a month, Small up to 10 at £500, Medium up to 20 at £900. There is no per-seat maths. You pick the band that fits your team.
- Do you price for collecting societies and PROs?
- Yes. Bespoke plans are for the bodies that run the music industry, including collecting societies, PROs, labels, publishers and distributors, and for any team over 20 people. Pricing is tailored to the organisation.
- Does it count toward professional CPD?
- Not yet as accredited hours: independent CPD accreditation is in progress, and the certificate carries no CPD hours until it is granted. Each learner does get a personal, verifiable record of the competencies completed, which can support a self-assessed professional CPD log.
For firms
- How much does it cost to upskill a team on the music industry?
- Firms pay one flat price per firm by team size, not per seat: £300 a month up to 5 people, £500 up to 10, £900 up to 20. Each band includes the 13-week programme, ROI reporting, custom role profiles and a cohort dashboard. Teams over 20 are priced bespoke. Annual billing gives two months free.
- What does a firm plan include?
- Every firm plan includes role-targeted tracks that get staff productive in hours rather than months. Someone moving into tour accounting or royalty ops can do a focused track and arrive days ahead of where they would be learning by osmosis. Plans also include the 13-week onboarding programme, cohort and ROI dashboards, and custom role profiles.
- Does completing it earn CPD for our staff?
- Not yet as accredited hours: independent CPD accreditation is in progress, and certificates carry no CPD hours until it is granted. Every learner gets a verifiable record of the competencies completed, which can support a self-assessed CPD log.
- How does the 13-week programme work?
- The 13-week programme is a structured, role-targeted track that ends in an assessed, verifiable credential. It works for an adviser already in the seat or someone moving into music for the first time. The cohort dashboard shows who is on track and where the gaps are, so senior time is spent where it counts.
For the industry
- Do you have a plan for collecting societies and PROs?
- Yes. The Bespoke plan is for the bodies that run the music industry, including collecting societies, PROs, labels, publishers and distributors, and for any team over 20 people. It is custom-priced to the organisation.
- Can it upskill our existing teams, not just new hires?
- Yes. The Bespoke plan upskills existing royalty, membership and distribution teams, with role tracks tailored to those functions. It is not limited to onboarding brand-new staff.
- How is the Bespoke plan priced?
- The Bespoke plan is custom-priced for teams over 20 people, tailored to your organisation. It covers collecting societies, PROs, labels, publishers and distributors, with guided rollout, invoice billing and a DPA.
