Upon arrival, students are introduced to the college, course, standards and expectations. They participate in streamed technical dance classes which  include; Jazz, Ballet, Tap, and Contemporary and participate in workshops that aim to develop acting technique, audition and choral skills, vocal studies and music theory. Students then explore the cultural and contextual elements of Musical Theatre and will be introduced to scholarly work, creative ideas and critical thinking skills, that both lead and enrich their theatrical and performance practice. At the end of term 1, students have the opportunity to develop their performance skills, use technique, and experiment with approaches to Musical Theatre practice, in the form of a short performance at the Northbrook Theatre.  The choreographic unit runs alongside this and enables students to develop their understanding of choreographic processes and peer-to-peer learning as they join the L5 students as dancers in their choreographic showcase. In term 2, the students will test and challenge their skills further through undertaking a role within a Musical. This unit provides the opportunity for students to collaborate across disciplines throughout the production process, in a way which intends to mirror industry practice. In the  final term students have the opportunity to work with the L5 and 6 students on a range of different projects. These  have ranged from Burlesque to comedic plays and Dance installations to Theatre in Education,  encompassing a wide variety of skills and performance styles, set to challenge and stretch the students. 

Level 5 study begins with 'The Resilient Performer.'  Alongside technical classes, audition preparation and a swing project, students look to challenge and stretch themselves practically and emotionally. They work to build confidence through research and experimentation of strategies and approaches which can support positive mental health and well-being. ‘Creative Collaboration’ tests students' collaborative skills through the development of a vocal cabaret and choreographic work. Students must negotiate with performance venues, communicate with lighting, sound and stage management teams, give feedback to their dancers and liaise with their peers to create rehearsal schedules. The dance work is then presented in a Theatre environment and the Cabaret is taken to a bar/pub/cabaret venue.  In term 2, the students have a second opportunity to fulfil a role within a full-scale musical and can pitch to take on additional creative roles such as assistant director, musical director, choreographer or costume supervisor. In term 3, there is the opportunity to audition for a showcase to be presented at an external venue, or to present creative ideas for devised work. 

Level 6 is where the students become more autonomous,  testing the culmination of skills and knowledge they have developed across their level 4 and 5 training. In addition to technical classes, the students are asked to identify a specific specialism from within their practice and dedicate time to researching and experimenting in the studios to expand their knowledge and skill set. Students engage with critical thinking and use research and analytical skills to create a dissertation . Students have the opportunity to create another fully rounded characters within a full-scale musical and are challenged with the task of contributing ideas and concepts working alongside the Director. In 'Professional Practice,’ students are encouraged to create a portfolio of industry materials, which explores and focuses on the development of resources that are specific to their chosen pathways. As part of this unit, students have created showreels, vocal portfolios, voice-over demos, websites and business plans, and have researched Spotlight, Equity, self-employed tax and a vast array of career possibilities. This valuable resource then guides and supports their journey into the industry.
