As there is no entrance exam,the first term of both the Initiation Course and the Advanced Course is considered to be probationary. At the end of this period the school and the student may decide on how their collaboration is to proceed.
In order to be accepted for the Initiation Course, basic actor-training and stage experience is necessary.The Advanced Course is only open to students who either have successfully completed the Initiation Course at LISPA, or have already completed another actor-training course and come with a
strong background in physical theatre.Students with an interest in a one-term Intensive Course have to prove the same background as any other applicant for the Advanced Course.
A certificate of successful participation is given at the end of each course; a certificate of completed studies at LISPA is awarded after two years.
The year starts in November and ends in July. The studies cover 30 hours a week for the Initiation Course and 35 hours for the Advanced Course,including classtime,rehearsal and preparation.
The fees are payable at the beginning of each term and are not refundable. The school is a recognized and approved training institute.
