    BTEC Extended Diploma in Performing Arts
    Hey!

    I wondered if anybody is doing or has done this qualification or similar. I am looking into it and I think it sounds great, only I have these questions:

    Where is it best to study it, is accommodation available?
    Does it prepare you well for going on to drama school, particularly to study musical theatre?
    What are the general entry requirements?
    How good do you have to be to get in?
    Is it enjoyable?
    Can you study other qualifications alongside?

    Thanks for your help! x

    I've applied for the BTEC Extended Diploma in Performing Arts; Acting.

    I've heard its enjoyable if you enjoy performing (Obviously)

    What I mean is that if it is your passion and something you love to do then it will be a very good course. Especially with new people.

    I'm studying BTEC Level 3 Performing Arts (equivalent of A-Level) and I'm enjoying it! I have taken this course because I enjoy it, and also to boost my prefessional working skills and to increase confidence around other people
