Tier 1 Courses

If you are having difficulty booking any of our courses online, please call us on 020 8987 6692

1 evening per week for 10 weeks.
All Tier 1 Courses are Open-Access, and are open to all levels of experience and ability.

At Tier 1, we have moved our focus towards providing participants with the core skills required of a performer.  Whilst the courses are primarily focused towards amateurs/enthusiasts who may wish to develop their skills within the performing arts, these courses are equally suited to participants who are looking to progress into more advanced vocational training in the future, or who are looking to gain transferable skills for their present careers either within or outside of the performing arts.
All courses offer vocational training, and are led by industry professionals who either teach on, or have graduated from, one of our BA courses.

For more information on all our courses, please read a summary of the courses on offer below.

Courses Available starting January 2012

Courses run as 10 sessions over 11 weeks (no class in week 6).  Each class runs 7:00pm-9:30pm, one evening per week.
