The application and audition process can take several months. It is wise to start investigating the options available to you at least a year before the courses starts. You need to think carefully about the kind of work you may like to do as a result of training and this will help you decide which type of course will help you achieve your ambition. Link Which Course? You should contact schools on the accredited course list and request a free prospectus. All schools also have websites with details about the courses they offer. Each course will seek to offer the highest possible standards of professional training but its curriculum, teaching methods and general ethos will be different. 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.
NCDT, in association with the Council for Dance Education and Training and the Department for Education and Skills have produced a booklet An Applicant's Guide to Auditioning and Interviewing at Dance and Drama Schools providing further detailed information on the application and auditioning procedures at Dance and Drama Schools.
