Start Anytime
Students can enrol in our Diploma class at any time with the view of committing to at least 3 terms of study prior to submission. Our Studio Director will work with new students to determine their duration of study and relevant work programs. Most diplomas are completed in under a year.
The best time to enrol is towards beginning of the year due to the vast performance experiences on offer at our studio that are unique to our students. As the class builds momentum it can be challenging to commence study in the middle of a year, however as each program is individually created based on each student’s needs, learning can be integrated at any time under the advisement of our Studio Director.
Duration
Each student is different and courses are tailored to individuals. Most students will complete and submit their diploma for assessment by our examination board in under a year of diploma study.
Submission
All submissions are practical performances recorded on video. There is no writing or assignment paperwork that needs to be submitted. Students record a practical performance that is sent for assessment to Trinity College, London. The performance is a culmination of student performance work, theory and practice.
