18+ Accelerated Industry Year

This full time intensive programme, over 28 weeks from October to July, is designed for performers who already demonstrate a high standard of ability and would benefit from an accelerated period of professional training. The course prepares students to move directly into the industry, rather than undertaking a traditional three-year programme.

 

A high level course planned to refine the students existing tools, to learn new skills, and to be coached by the very best the industry has to offer.

 

Condensed intensive course, before launching your career directly into the industry.

​
