Course summary

On completing the CertHE course you will have knowledge of the skills necessary to develop as an actor and should have some capacity to apply them. We aim to have given you a clear understanding of what the work of training and then professional actors actually entail and what you should expect from fulltime vocational training. You should also have a solid sense of your own potential as an actor.


The overall aims of the course are:

• To provide you with an introduction to conservatoire-style actors’ training, including a greater understanding of what is required of an actor and an actor in training, as well as a solid understanding of what the industry requires from the contemporary actor. In doing so, we’ll enable you to make a truly informed decision about pursuing acting, other creative strands of acting and wider theatre practice – with an idea of what approaches/options are available and best suited to the individual in pursuing these goals.
• To develop your understanding, practical engagement and implementation of necessary acting and actor training skills. Creating an intellectual and practical foundation in acting work, vocal work and physical work as well as developing critical and analytical awareness preparing them for a three-year conservatoire-style training or practical university course.
• To prepare you for Drama School/practical auditions and wider HE study by focusing on the basic requirements of improvisation, contemporary and classical speeches, and interview preparation. We aim to also build confidence, ease, and an appropriate approach to and communication of text and character, which forms the basis of a successful candidate on a three-year conservatoire-style actors’ training.
• To offer you tasters in specialist skills and other creative career and training options that can both inform your understanding of the acting and theatre making collaboration and potentially ignite an interest in a non-acting career within the industry – and offer support and advice in pursuing this.
