YAS Acting Courses

YAS Acting Courses provide the only training of its kind in Wales for people aged 16-20 who are either considering or have decided to apply to drama school. Classes in essential acting skills provide a taste of some of the key features of the professional actor training delivered by top drama schools. Classes are held on Sundays from 10am to 3.45pm for 10 weeks per academic term (30 weeks per year). No previous experience is required but entry is by audition only.

"The tuition given at YAS is hard, challenging and tiring...but boy is it worth it! I have never received tuition of such a high standard before" Chris, age 18, Cwmbran (2008 - 2010 Acting Student)

Our Acting Courses for 2011-2012 are now full. Click here for more information about auditioning for our 2012-13 Acting Courses.

As part of the University of Glamorgan, we are sometimes able to offer a small number of means-tested bursaries to help with fees. In some cases, this could be worth up to 100% of the full fee.
