PART TIME COURSES
Act Now!
Perhaps you've always wanted to try acting, but life circumstances or a lack of confidence held you back.
Maybe you’ve been afraid to try it because of what people might say, or in case you feel as if you’re no good at it. Maybe you think you’re too old to start, or you don’t have enough experience.
Whether you're considering acting as a full-time career or a part-time hobby, Acting Coach Scotland's practical Acting classes are the perfect place to start. Join us for a course, and you'll be hooked on acting for life.
Before you know it, you'll be on your feet, having fun, learning new skills, meeting people, and experiencing your first acting class.
Stage 1: Intro to Acting is where the majority of our students start, as it’s the introduction to the acting technique that we teach (Practical Aesthetics). If you already have experience in Practical Aesthetics and would like to skip a Stage, please email hello@actingcoachscotland.co.uk.

Student Testimonials
Can I just say how great Stage 2 was this weekend. I got so much from it and again I feel enthused and invigorated! I love Jake’s teaching style as he manages to get so much out of everyone in such a short timescale. The level of insight he provides is brilliant and is especially exciting and motivating for me as an absolute beginner.
