Current facilities are comprised of rehearsal rooms, teaching studios, library, subsidised canteen and technical workshops. During refurbishment, a variety of theatre spaces in London will be used to provide both a full range of venues for third year acting student productions and to facilitate all aspects of the Stage Management and Theatre Production and specialist Diploma Course training requirements. There is an annual intake of 30 students on the Three Year Acting Diploma course every Autumn. It is unusual for candidates to be offered a place under the age of 18. There is no fixed upper age limit, but acceptance over the age of 30 is rare.
Entry is by audition and interview.
For the Stage Management and Theatre Production Course the annual intake is 25 students. Entry is by interview, no specific academic qualifications are required, but the minimum age for admission is 18 years. For the Specialist Courses the minimum age is 19, selection is by interview with no specific academic qualification. The training provided at the Academy is vocational. This intensive training philosophy applies equally to the Stage Management and Theatre Production and the Specialist Diploma Courses.
