Ignite Acting, Musical Theatre and Technical Theatre make frequent visits to watch live theatre, both locally and on the West End, as well as taking part in external workshops, community performances and charity events. In addition to this, learners are guided and encouraged to gain work experience within specialist fields and local venues.

Your course will help you build on your English and maths skills in a practical setting. All Ignite students will participate in activities that require these skills throughout their two years training; through submitting written documentation to support practical assessments and working in an industry-grade theatre and production arts workshop.

We pride ourselves on outstanding success and progression rates, with previous learners achieving places at Falmouth University, University of Salford, UCEN Manchester and Chichester Conservatoire. Learners have also been successful in gaining full-time employment and free-lance employment on completion of their studies… even here at Kidderminster College!

Alternatively, should you feel you need a little more time to develop your skills before you pursue professional training further, you can apply for our Higher National Certificate in Performing Arts here at Kidderminster College.
