• It is difficult to find vocational courses of sufficiently high enough standard and with the level of professional staff where we can be sure that the performing skills training is appropriate. PPA have created the best 16-19 vocational training for musical theatre. The rigours of the course and the high expectations of the tutors means that students will be very well prepared for auditioning for undergraduate performing arts courses. -- Peter Barlow - Director, Guildford School of Acting
