Advanced Diplomas Available

Nationally Recognised Training logo

The Actors Conservatory offers two training pathways resulting in an Advanced Diploma qualification. Each is designed to specifically cater to each unique career path. Our Advanced Diplomas are tailor made in conjunction with industry professionals for both actors and film makers. See below for more information.

Day or Night Classes

The Actors Conservatory's Advanced Diplomas are available as a day or evening study program on a '2 days or 2 nights a week' basis. Night classes are scheduled between 6-9pm. Day classes are scheduled from 11 - 2pm. So if you're unable to attend weekday training but have time to study in the evenings, or are a night shift worker who can attend late morning to early afternoons, all you have to do is call to get started.

The Advanced Diploma courses have four intakes a year so you don't have to wait 6 or 12 months if you miss the current intake. Generally each intake will commence classes in the following months: January, April, July and September. Please get in touch with us at least one month prior to book your place as spots are limited. Call us on (07) 3229 6929. Check out our Training Calendar for intake intervals.
