How to become any Drama Trainer.

 Drama is currently certainly one of typically the most popular subjects to check out at GCSE and A level. With so many students discovering a passion for drama it is very important to learn what opportunities are available when it comes to pursing a career.

Could be Performers have several options they could study drama at university or choose one of many top 23 drama schools in England which are members of the CDS.

Child performers maybe able to really make the transition, from child actor to adult, without having to go to drama school. Though this is indeed rare, it's not impossible.

However, not everybody wants to be always a performer some prefer to teach, so what training would you need. Well I spoke to one drama student who said about her journey from leaving

Blag Youth Theatre in Rickmansworth to landing a high grade job in a second school in Hertfordshire, she also outlines other routes into becoming a drama teacher.

'My passion for drama began in my early teens, when I joined Blag Youth Theatre. There I could expand my knowledge and experiment with improvisation and scripted pieces. Additionally, it gave me performance opportunities which confirmed my passion for the arts.

I left school with 3 A-levels (Theatre studies, Music and English Lit.) in 1998. I proceeded to do a three year degree in Drama and Theatre Studies and graduated in 2001. During the following 3 years I worked with many different different aged children running outdoor adventure activities. Dramacool I then made the decision becoming a secondary school teacher and to get back to university; so in 2004 I started a PGCE in drama at Chester University. This course took per year and was very hands-on with two teaching placements in different schools.

Once I completed this season I started as an NQT (Newly Qualified teacher) at a school in Hertfordshire - Once I'd done twelve months as of this school i was a fully-qualified teacher of drama!!

There are other routes into teaching:

If you make your decision before I did so and know when you finish your A-Levels that you wish to be considered a teacher then you can do a 4 year course at University and become either a primary teacher or a secondary teacher with drama specialism.

If you have a drama degree already and need to teach drama then you can either apply to do a PGCE, like me or a GTP. A GTP is a school based qualification where you work in a school for a lowered salary and soon you qualify.

If you have a qualification in another subject then you can still become a drama teacher but may need to perform a short course to convert your specialism.'
