LOS ANGELES ONE YEAR PROFESSIONAL ACTING CONSERVATORY (CERTIFICATE PROGRAM)

The One Year Conservatory follows the same course of study as the first nine months 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.

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.
