For our professional dramatherapy training course there is a two-stage application process. To support shortlisting you will be asked to complete a questionnaire detailing your work experience with people with additional needs. If you are successful at this stage, you will be then invited for interview and audition.
As this is professional therapy training, we'll ask you to attend a workshop and interview if you're shortlisted.
These are group workshops. If we do not have sufficient interviews booked for a session, we may need to rearrange your interview. We recommend you do not book travel or accommodation until one week before your interview.
Interviews are usually scheduled on Wednesdays from January–July.
In exceptional cases if you live overseas, we may consider interviewing you via video conference. You’ll only be offered this if you give clear reasons why it’s impossible for you to attend the interview, and you have access to professional video conferencing equipment.
The day will include experiential dramatherapy group work with other candidates, as well as an individual interview and discussion with lecturers. These will allow us to consider your suitability and readiness for training, and also give you the chance to experience some of the teaching methods we use, so you can decide whether they're appropriate for your needs.
For the group workshop you’ll need to be ready to engage in drama and improvisation activities as directed on the day. For the individual interview you’ll need to be ready to discuss your motivation for, and expectations of, becoming a dramatherapist.
If you have received an interview email invite, please ensure you read the important interview information.
