KSA is located in Beckenham, London at Beckenham Halls – a beautiful listed building.

KSA Beckenham offers fantastic performance opportunities throughout the course, culminating in our end-of-year West End shows, attended by industry professionals. This provides students with the fantastic opportunity of showcasing the skills and applied techniques gained throughout their KSA training, in the cultural heart of theatreland.

 Our acting students perform an industry showcase and a full-length play and, for our musical theatre students, the West End show also provides the unique opportunity of appearing in an original new musical. Our method of showcasing has received great response and has proved highly successful in helping our students gain representation and work in the industry.

Our one year Musical Theatre course in Beckenham covers training in:

All our One Year Courses have a Second Year & BA (Hons) option. This enables our students to continue to train, pushing themselves to greater levels of achievement, whilst working towards a degree-level qualification.

Upon satisfactory completion of the Second Year, students are awarded either the KSA Higher Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre, or the KSA Higher Diploma in Professional Acting. This recognises a student’s commitment to further industry-specific training and that they are a fully-trained, experienced individual, confident in a range of professional performance situations.

In addition to the KSA Higher Diploma, the qualification for which students train throughout the Second Year is the Licentiate Trinity College London (LTCL) Performance Diploma in either Musical Theatre, or Speech & Drama. This diploma is accredited by Trinity Guildhall, is awarded QCF credits and is comparable to other qualifications available at Level 6 in the National Qualifications Framework. It is recognised as being equivalent to a Degree Level Course.

Students who successfully complete the Second Year also have the opportunity to convert their diploma qualifications into a full BA (Hons) degree in Professional Practice at Middlesex University.
