Mountview’s full-time Foundation-level training focuses on three key areas of artistic development: creativity, technique and readiness.

It is the equal focus on these three pillars that allows you to find and develop your own artistic identity and process.

The course is designed to prepare students to become creative artists as well as to develop the skills needed to embark on further vocational actor training.

The training includes a focused audition preparation module allowing students to develop technique and repertoire for future drama school auditions. Students receive 30 to 35 hours of direct teaching each week over two terms.

The course is made up of 55% skills training, including TV, film and radio, and 45% project and performance-based work.
