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).
