All NCDT accredited courses as well as providing professional training will offer a nationally recognised qualification. This might be a university degree or a national diploma (click here for full accredited course list). If you are over 21 and have already completed a previous degree (in any subject) and/or you have substantial experience in performance you will be eligible to apply for post-graduate one or two year courses. If you are 18 and leaving school, are considering a career change or you feel you would benefit from a longer period of training you need to consider applying to accredited three year courses. The Conference of Drama schools represents all the major drama schools and publishes annually [The Official Guide to Vocational Training] which provides a section on each of the drama schools and the courses they offer.
