Campuses

RISE Academy boasts three campuses in South Africa: Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban.

JOHANNESBURG

Our Johannesburg campus, above the Gautrain station, is located in Rosebank, a vibrant creative hub that perfectly reflects the energy and ambition of our students. The campus features a dedicated on-site studio, giving students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, practice their craft, and collaborate on real projects in a professional environment.

At RISE, we teach students how to turn passion into a career. That philosophy drives everything we do – from how we design our courses to where we’ve chosen to base our campus. By operating from a professional office environment, we immerse students in the mindset of business and professionalism from day one. This is where creativity meets accountability, where talent grows into a brand, and where every student learns to walk in, feel proud, and build a future in the industry.

CAPE TOWN

Nestled in the heart of Cape Town, our Strand Street campus serves as a vibrant hub for both part-time and full-time lessons, offering an inspiring and energetic learning environment. The campus features space, providing students with a place and tools to practice, collaborate, and create in a professional setting that mirrors the real music industry. At RISE, we believe in turning passion into a career – and that commitment is reflected in the way we selected our Cape Town space. By situating our campus within a professional office environment, we immerse students in the world of business and creativity, helping them build the mindset needed for long-term success. This is where artistry meets professionalism, and where every student learns to walk in, feel proud, and take ownership of their journey as a future professional. Conveniently located, the Strand Street campus is just a 13-minute walk from Cape Town Station, making it easily accessible for students commuting from across the city.

DURBAN

Located in Westville, our Durban studio offers a smaller, more intimate creative space where students – whether full-time, part-time, or private – can learn, engage, and refine their skills in a focused and supportive environment. The space provides a hands-on setting where creativity and collaboration come together, allowing each student to grow in confidence and master their craft.

At RISE Academy, we believe that big ideas often start in small spaces. Our Durban space embodies that spirit – personal, connected, and deeply creative – offering students the same professional standards and industry-relevant learning found across all RISE locations.
