F.A.Q.
-
As with most professional training programmes, London Theatre Runway courses can improve the likelihood of a fulfilling and successful career. That said, participating in a London Theatre Runway course does not automatically guarantee you employment. Contact with our instructors and workshop leaders should be treated as a personal and career development opportunity, rather than an audition.
-
If you cannot attend your workshop as a result of booking a performing job, we will hold your pre-paid balance as credit for you to use towards sessions in the future.
-
No problem at all - we’re very happy to switch the name over on the booking if you have a friend who would like to take your place instead!
-
We advise participants to have completed a relevant professional training programme before attending London Theatre Runway. However, if you haven't yet completed training, please ensure that your skillset is at a high standard before applying. London Theatre Runway provides training for participants to hone in on their craft, rather than teaching skills from a beginner level.
All participants are required to be over the age of 18 by the time their chosen course begins.
(For information regarding LTR Junior, please visit the LTR Junior page and scroll down to the FAQ’s.)
-
There is no audition process - just book your place using our online platform and away we go!
-
London Theatre Runway is not designed as an alternative to undergraduate training. Instead, the course is designed to enhance your career and to build upon the skills you have learnt through vocational programmes. Therefore, our courses are not accredited.
