Learn how to do the job. Properly.

There’s no fixed path to becoming a booking agent.

But it helps to be shown how the role actually works by people who are doing the work.

Become an Agent is a course built to give you the full picture.

It combines structure, theory, and real-life application to help you step confidently into the role.

Yunsong Jin

“The course gives me great insight into how an agent works and thinks. Guest speakers are very experienced in their fields. It also provides us this great chance to communicate with these “veterans” because normally it’s hard to know or hear how they work on the back end, which this course gave us great insight into how professionals work.”
