About this course

Free Level 3 Performing Arts Course in Saint Austell. Classes run at Studio 4 Dance, full-time over two years.

The course covers performance and production disciplines across both years. In Year 1 you explore collaborative projects and develop core performance skills. Year 2 focuses on specialist study and a final major project, including a public performance or production. You'll be assessed through practical performances, rehearsals, training sessions, and assignments.

Entry requires an audition and interview. Five GCSEs at grade 4 or above are expected, including English Language and maths, though the centre considers each applicant individually. You'll finish with a University of the Arts London Diploma in Performing and Production Arts.
