Facilities:
Following a recent expansion programme of the premises, The Centre's studio complex now offers 12,000 ft2 of workspace. Facilities include five fully equipped dance studios, a drama studio, an IT suite with internet access and college library, a music room incorporating recording facilities, photographic studio, a fully equipped fitness and rehabilitation suite, relaxation/common area and student and staff amenities. 

Pastoral Care:
Intensive vocational training is physically and mentally demanding on the individual. Therefore, it is the policy of The Centre to offer a supportive and caring environment. The Centre can offer a variety of services to assist each student. All students have access to pastoral care and if necessary a tutor can be allocated to provide help and support during their three-year course. If more professional help is required a qualified counsellor is available for private consultations.

Health Care Services:
The Centre facilities include a rehabilitation suite offering a designated area for the diagnosis, treatment and management of injuries. All students join The Centre’s ‘Rehabilitation Programme’. For a nominal termly fee, students have access to a vocal therapist, a nutritional advisor and weekly on site clinics with one of Physio Ed Medical Limited's physiotherapists. 
(N. B. External treatments are not covered by The Centre’s Rehabilitation Programme).

Sports Massage:
Our sports masseuse holds weekly clinics. These compliment the Rehabilitation Programme with massage being used to help prevent and manage injuries, improve posture and flexibility and promote optimum performance.

Accommodation:
For overseas students and students who will have to live away from home we will give every assistance to find suitable accommodation e.g. Landladies or flat/house shares. Most accommodation is within walking distance of The Centre. The Principal personally vets all accommodation if requested.

The Agency:
The Agency specialises in film, television and theatre. It caters for current and graduate students and provides a valuable link between college and the profession. Agency staff liaise weekly with all students ensuring they have the confidence and necessary skills to successfully join the industry.

Photographic Studio:
The Centres facilities include a photographic studio and in house photographer offering students unlimited opportunities to create their professional portfolios.

Recording/Editing Facilities:
Our recording and editing facilities enable us to edit music for examinations and provide personalised backing tracks for castings and auditions.

Graduate Students:
One of the unique aspects of The Centre is the support it is able to offer its graduates. Graduate students are invited to maintain links through The Agency, this allows us to offer continued guidance and access to private auditions whilst enabling graduates continued access to all The Centre’s facilities. Graduate students wishing to further their teaching qualifications are able to enrol on our Professional Development Programme. The Professional Development Programme enables graduates to continue their training at The Centre and study for I.S.T.D. Licentiate and Fellowship examinations, this offers them the opportunity of applying to become I.S.T.D. examiners. To date The Professional Development Programme has  produced many I.S.T.D. examiners.
