I recently graduated from TBA, and I can happily say that attending this amazing college was the best decision I ever made. I have changed so much as a performer, and found confidence in myself that I didn’t even know I had. Before joining TBA, I classed myself as a non singer, and dreaded being asked to sing, but after three years under the guidance of incredible teachers, I sing confidently and happily. The opportunities presented to you at this college are one in a million, and I really felt like part of a family throughout the entirety of my training. I would absolutely recommend this incredible college to anyone.

I’ve only been studying at TBA for a term now but I absolutely adore this place! I have learnt so much in my short time here! The faculty are all long time professionals that provide the highest quality training, the contact hours are unlike any other drama school I’ve seen and the facilities are great, there are 3 campus’ that are only a short distance apart, each campus has several large studios, changing rooms and private singing rooms. At TBA you are taught by your own principals multiple times a week, you get 2 one to one singing lessons a week and amazing opportunities to take part in a multitude of shows. If you are thinking of auditioning for TBA I’d say go for it! You’ve got nothing to loose and everything to gain! (Besides, they provide you with a free audition!)

The process of choosing a performing arts college to train at can be a difficult and hard decision for someone to make. When personally going through this process I could have easily chosen a college with a “well known name” or a larger reputation however I was easily persuaded and excited by what The Brighton Academy had to offer me. This included various renovated campuses, SMALL class sizes, 1-1 singing lessons (twice a week) Fees affordable for all, 2 physio sessions once a month inc in fees and not forgetting the 100% agent success rate with well known agents within the industry. Deciding to train at TBA will be up there with one of the best decisions I have ever made. The college thrives on the fact we are a family and every single student is known on a first name basis and not by a number on their leotard (everyone matters). Each student receives so much support and personal attention from the faculty as well as receiving the highest level of training as we are taught by teachers who have so much valuable and current knowledge of the industry and by four principles who pour nothing but love and passion into the college. I’m only stating all of this because I was very close to not choosing TBA as my college of training and I believe that if I didn’t choose this college I wouldn’t have achieved anything near what I have today. With 100% agent success rate I would recommend this college to anyone, it is also completely free to audition at the college. Hand on my heart I have honestly loved and cherished my three years of training at The Brighton Academy, and feel completely honoured to have graduated from there, and I will be forever grateful for everything the college has given me.

This school is the most falsely advertised ‘institution’ I have ever had the misfortune of attending. The ‘small class sizes’ were actually classes of up to 50 at times when the timetable wasn’t planned correctly. The studios are covered in mould which is simply painted over as its ‘solution’. The teachers ignore any students who are beginners in some areas. The ballet teacher actively discouraged students from visiting the college physio when injured, instead told them to ‘manage their own injuries’, subsequently making it worse. The college would be 11 degrees throughout most of the winter, despite students asking for the heating to be sorted. Acting classes are led by a teacher who is a dancer by trade, and often substitutes the classes for dance classes, working on dance technique, not focussing on dance performance. There were not enough toilets to the ratio of students, meaning students would have to queue and be late for the next class, or not go. Some classes were exclusive to students with skills that they came to the college with. The other reviews are written by 3rd year students who are asked repeatedly to post their 5* reviews by the principals. The 100% agent success rate is only because they are signed by a college principal if they don’t receive representation elsewhere. Acting, singing and dancing is advertised to be delivered with ‘equal weighting’, however the course is dance heavy, with 50% dance, 25% singing, 25% acting. There is only 1 3rd year musical, in comparison to 3 or 4 at most other colleges. An embarrassment to the arts.

Going in to my 2nd year training here. All I can say is I feel so lucky to attend this drama school as I don’t think I would’ve had the same amount of care, attention and opportunities anywhere else. Each teacher knows me as an individual and I am constantly given 1 to 1 feedback which has helped me to improve so much more than I think I would’ve elsewhere. We are given a huge amount of teaching hours and performance opportunities and all the teachers are knowledgable and passionate about the business, especially the 4 principals who are amazing at what they do
