THE FIRST YEAR
In the first year, students are offered a general programme of study from which eventual option choices will be made. All students will study I.P.S. (Integrated Professional Skills), various dance disciplines, acting and singing. Contextual work takes place throughout the year.
THE SECOND YEAR
Work will continue on all the subjects that are required for the chosen diploma route. I.P.S. and Contextual work is continued and consolidated.
THE THIRD YEAR
All work is consolidated in readiness for graduation. Additional studies include audition classes and professional repertoire.
TEACHER TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
Teacher Training opportunities are available in liaison with recognised bodies. Further information is available from the College.
ASSESSMENT
Assessments usually take place at least twice a year and are a vital part of course and student monitoring. All students are required to be assessed as part of the course - not just those who are studying for the National Diploma. Grades are forwarded to Trinity College for any student who is studying for a National Diploma.
Subjects that are assessed include technical and commercial jazz, ballet, tap, contemporary, singing, acting and musical theatre, although this is always subject to review. I.P.S. (Integrated Professional Skills) and contextual work is graded and the results are sent to Trinity College.
All students that commence the course receive a handbook that explains the whole assessment cycle in detail.
