Straight answer: 8 to 10 weeks. One session a week. That’s it.
You don’t need to give up your evenings. You don’t need to rearrange your life.
Our courses are short, focused, and designed to fit around real adult schedules — work, family, busy brains, the lot.
Course length
- Acting for Beginners – 8 weeks

Time commitment
All courses run once a week on the same day and time.
2-hour courses:

Do I need to do anything outside class?
A little — but nothing heavy.
Depending on the course, you might:
- Learn a few lines
- Bring something in for a task
- Spend 15–30 minutes doing a short prep
No essays. No cramming. Just light prep if needed.
Is there a performance?
Some courses include a short sharing in Week 10 — usually during your normal class time. Occasionally, the timing might be slightly different.
Theatre Training Company always includes a sharing or in-house performance.
What if I miss a week?
It’s fine. If you miss one (or even two), just speak to your tutor — we’ll help you stay on track.
Can I take two courses at once?
Yes, if the timetables don’t clash. Some students combine acting and writing. Most stick to one course per term — but it’s totally up to you.
Weekly commitment at a glance:
- 2 or 3 hours in class
- 15–30 mins light prep (optional)
- Same time and day each week
You’ll be amazed what you can build in that time.
