The BTEC Foundation Diploma in Performance Practice (Acting) is a two-year course designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and understanding necessary for further study or training. Throughout the program, students will engage in two mandatory modules: Skills Development and The Performing Arts Industry. These modules focus on the development of technical performance skills and creative techniques, while also exploring their application within the performing arts industry.
By completing this qualification, students will be well-prepared to pursue various pathways within the performing arts sector. They may choose to continue their studies at a higher level, such as pursuing a degree in performing arts or related disciplines. Alternatively, they can explore employment opportunities in areas such as theatre, dance, music, or production companies.
