At The ISA our 1 year intensive Diploma is developed to give you the equivalent of around 3-5 years of 'normal' training, when compared to someone starting out and sourcing training and experiences individually. This should see you graduate with a formal Diploma in our subject and field, feeling and being 'work ready'. Some of our shorter courses can be completed in a few days, but those will only qualify you in smaller aspects of performance, not for a full career. Our Stunt Coordinator Educational Programme takes 2 years.

Wire Work for Film & Stage

Completing a course at International Stunt Academy does not guarantee jobs - no course can promise you this and we advise extreme caution if a course does make that promise.
The Industry relies upon independent performers and this means your success is driven by the work you put into your career. But we do train students to become 'Work Ready Experts' and teach you how to perform, how to build a professional profile, help you to develop all the materials you need for self promotion and instruct on how to maintain and develop your career. The Academy provides students with a network, skills, experience, and knowledge needed to pursue a career in stunt performing and action acting. Some graduates also go on to join our own Stunt Team. |
