Re: Best value Foundation courses?

We were quite impressed by Evolution when we went for the audition. The students were so positive and upbeat and obviously having the time of their lives. The only sticking point for me was that every student I spoke to was advised to go on to audition at 10, 11, 12 colleges all over the country, s...

Re: Funding

Hi there.
A real long shot here but did anyone happen to write down the list of trusts from drama uk as the website has now closed down and I was only down to F.
Many Thanks.

Re: Auditioning for 2017

Re: Auditioning for 2017

Has anyone ever had their deposit back from a course which their youngster decided not to take up? Basically Urdang (Foundation) are wanting a £500 deposit (gulp!) but we are still like everyone else waiting to hear about dada's. I think £500 deposit is far too much when they haven't finished their...

Best value Foundation courses?

Hi there. My sixteen year old daughter has been offered places on the Foundation Courses at Italia Conti and Evolution so I was just wondering what people's opinions of these courses are and if anyone has come across one that might get overlooked by people but is a quality course at a reasonable pri...

Re: Auditioning for 2017

My DD got a level 6 offer at Stella Mann today and we are thrilled with her offers so far. They are doing DADAs again =D> That is fantastic news - you must be so proud. Stella Mann looks a great College. My daughter has a private audition there at the end of April as we needed to know about the fun...

Re: Which route?

I do believe there are certain colleges who just look to get everyone through the qualification and don't care about the quality. Why on earth do they allow students to get re-assessed three or four times on the BTEC? Once would maybe acceptable if someone has been ill/ misunderstood the task or the...

Re: Which route?

I do think that education and training providers will inevitably get judged by past success rates and in terms of MT Colleges that would be in terms of pass rates and productions graduates have since performed in. With post 16 education I guess that people including I want to know that their child i...

Re: Which route?

My sixteen year old is auditioning for eight Diploma courses this year. If she is unsuccessful she will definitely not be doing A Levels but that is only because where I live - Torbay in Devon - there is not a suitable combination on offer anywhere. She would either do a BTEC Extended Diploma in Mus...
