Does Nardone's Academy College Offer Scholarship Within SQA Courses?
Yes - Scholarships are means tested and based upon audition scores.

We ask prospective students to provide as much information through email as possible so that assessments can be made fairly and accurately.

If you can demonstrate exceptional talent and can satisfy the panel of your ability to successfully complete the course, you may be considered for a place irrespective of your academic background.
I’m not very academic, what elements of the course are academic?
80% of the course is practical and not academic. The other elements are introductory to higher education study, and as such a lot of support and guidance is offered to students to help them through the modules that have written or academic elements.
The work is largely reflective, so therefore talking about what you have learned in class, with elements of research required to back this up. There will be specific classes to guide students on the expectations for the academic work, and your tutor will schedule 1to1 time with you to support you throughout this.
