It's our aim to prepare students for work as professional film and TV actors

We educate our students to equip them with the necessary skills, tools, knowledge and psychological preparation which are essential to succeed in the film and TV industry

Through an engaging, exciting and collaborative environment, we endeavour to develop highly competent actors who exhibit a proactive and professional attitude towards their career, craft and education. We encourage the development of a number of important transferable skills which will aid students in their personal lives, education and working lives.

We believe that in order to teach acting you must have trained at a high level. All YAFTA tutors are drama school trained, have professional screen acting experience in mainstream film & TV work, are paediatric first aid qualified and hold DBS certification when working with children or vulnerable adults.

SUCCESS STORY, HANNAH WARING

Before my time at YAFTA I had absolutely no experience of screen acting. I chose YAFTA because I felt the course covered everything I needed to know - not just about acting but the industry as a whole. To learn from industry professions was something I was very interested in. So far these experiences have been invaluable.
