CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
Courses are marked as Foundation (F), Specialised (S) or Advanced (A). This is to help you choose the best possible course. Foundation and Specialised courses require no previous experience. If you are new to training, we recommend Foundation courses. Specialised courses explore specific areas of training in theatre, film and TV in detail.
