Australian College of Dramatic Arts

Welcome to the Australian College of Dramatic Arts (ACDA), located at Boronia, Macquarie Place, 7. As an establishment, point of interest, and university, ACDA is dedicated to providing nationally accredited training in acting, specifically the 22307VIC Certificate III in Acting (Screen).

Our institution offers the 22576VIC Certificate III in Acting (Screen) course through the VET Delivered to Secondary Students program. This means that we provide training to actors in secondary school, delivering the course at multiple host schools across Victoria. ACDA strictly adheres to the Department of Education's emergency and safety procedures regarding COVID-19, ensuring the well-being of our students and staff.

As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 3139), ACDA specializes in delivering the nationally accredited 22307VIC Certificate III in Acting (Screen) course solely for VET in Schools (VETiS). This course equips aspiring actors with the skills, knowledge, attitudes, and training necessary for acting in film and television. However, the skills and knowledge attained are transferable to other industries and workplaces, making this course valuable for any workplace situation.

We have carefully designed our course to align with current industry requirements, providing up-to-date Units of Competency and tasks. We believe that education plays a crucial role in economic and social development, and we aim to prepare young people for the changing world of work. Through ACDA, students have the opportunity to develop skills that not only benefit their acting careers but also their overall personal and professional growth.

Our course combines theory and practical components, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience. Students engage in filming tasks every two weeks, allowing them to become familiar with being in front of the camera and building their confidence. While this confidence may not always equate to acting talent, it undoubtedly enhances personal confidence and the ability to communicate more professionally.

ACDA's commitment lies in being a VET Delivered to Secondary Students Provider, offering one nationally accredited certificate in Acting. Currently, our courses are available to students in Year 10, 11, and 12, and we do not offer any courses to adults. We have presence in various regions, including Yarra Valley, Mullum, Inner Melbourne, Brimbank/Melton, Peninsula Coast areas, and Lower Hume.

Join us at the Australian College of Dramatic Arts and embark on a journey of artistic and personal growth. Whether you aspire to be an actor or seek skills for any workplace, ACDA is here to support and guide you. Contact us today to enroll in our nationally accredited acting course.
