What will I get out of it?

Here are 10 good reasons why you'll enjoy and get lots out of a YMT Skills Course!

1. You’ll be working with some of the country’s most talented and exciting theatre people - they'll be leading your artistic work for the week, and are more than happy to answer any questions you have about the world of performing arts. You'll also be looked after by our highly trained pastoral team.
2. You’ll make new friends – this is the reason most people love Skills Courses! You’ll be able to stay in touch on our discussion forum and Facebook page and meet up again at events like our annual Christmas concert. Why not see who's planning to attend by joining the Facebook group or our very own Discussion Forum?
3. You’ll boost your confidence – doing things you thought you could never do, in a non-scary environment! Remember, everyone's in the same boat!
4. You’ll learn new skills – devising, improvising, lyric writing - all sorts! It’s great if you already do (or plan to take) any kind of drama or performing arts course at school, college, university or drama school. Loads of young people say it helps with their Drama, English, Music and often subjects like History and Geography.
5. It’s a great summer holiday – a brilliant way to spend a week during the holiday. You'll get away from home and feel independent - if you've never done it before, you'll never look back after a YMT course.
6. You’ll gain a certificate from Trinity Guildhall in Grade 6 'Musical Theatre in Performance'.
7. You’ll become a member of our national company and join the thousands of young people from around the world who are proud to be YMT members.
8. You’ll create a unique new musical – every Skills Course is different, a once in a lifetime opportunity - once you’ve performed it, no-one else ever will!
9. Skills Courses also qualify as part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, as the Residential Section for Gold Awards. Get in touch if you’d like more information about how this works.
10. You’ll get a free YMT T-shirt (it's this season's must-have fashion accessory!)  Perfect to show your friends and family!
