LOS ANGELES ONE YEAR PROFESSIONAL ACTING CONSERVATORY (CERTIFICATE PROGRAM)

The One-Year Conservatory follows the same course of study as the first year (3 terms) of the Two-Year Conservatory (Certificate Program). This program emphasizes the fundamental aspects of The Method while ensuring a concentrated but broad-based instruction for the body and voice, as well as theatre history.

The program requires 36 weeks (three 12-Week terms) of dedicated training and full-time study. Students may start the Conservatory in any of the 4 terms (Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall). Upon successful completion of the One-Year Conservatory Program (66 clock credit hours), students will receive a formal Certificate of Completion.

The Full-Time program requires 22 hours of classes per week. The Part-Time Pathway option, allows Conservatory completion for those who cannot take on a full-time course load. The Part-Time Pathway option allows students to divide the One-Year Conservatory into six 12-Week terms (three 12-Week sessions of 10 hours + three 12-Week sessions of 12 hours).
