Now studying at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire
I would recommend arts1 to anyone that is strongly considering a career in performing arts. Without the expert training from their teachers and staff I would not be where I am today.
Being part of the course meant being part of a family, I always felt completely supported in and out of lessons throughout the course and that still continues now.
I am currently training on the 1 year course at Fourth Monkey Actor Training company and will be starting a BA in Acting at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire this year.
