Certificate Program
ATX Actor's School believes that continued work on our craft is paramount in the ever-changing business of acting. For actors who prefer a structured goal, our certificate path leads you to the confidence that comes from studying with multiple instructors across various techniques and specialties, while also fitting flexibly and affordably into your busy life. There is no extra cost beyond the tuition for each individual class. Many students have already taken a lot of the required classes! How satisfying would it be to finish your Certificate?
How It Works
We offer three levels. To pass each level, and move on to the next, at least two electives must be completed in addition to the core classes. All classes must be completed with Satisfactory grades, instructor endorsement, and complete attendance/participation.
The Actor's School will celebrate actors who complete each level in our emails and social media, and actors will receive a digital version of their certificate. There is no deadline to complete the levels to ensure optimal flexibility.
To confirm level completion, contact hello@theactorsschool.org.
