How to Get a High-Flying Head Start in the Stunt Industry
Breaking into the stunt industry can be a daunting task for many, but with the right training and preparation, your dreams can become a reality.

The International Stunt Academy's Diploma program is the highest accredited academic qualification in the world, specifically designed to equip aspiring stunt performers with the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to excel in the field.

Our comprehensive curriculum covers a wide array of disciplines, such as high falls, fight choreography, vehicle stunts, and fire burns. In addition to the technical skills, we focus on developing essential qualities like teamwork, discipline, and adaptability, ensuring our graduates are well-rounded professionals ready to tackle any challenge.

Not Just Learning Stunts – We Help You Train to Kickstart A Whole Career
Our Diploma program goes beyond preparing you for stunt work alone. We recognize that the entertainment industry is multifaceted, and versatility is key to success. That's why our program also covers related fields like acting, directing, and stunt coordination, opening up a world of career possibilities for our graduates. Armed with the skills acquired at The International Stunt Academy, you'll be ready to take on various roles in movies, television, commercials, and live events.

Many in the industry have said the same thing "I wish this existed when I was younger and getting started". The reason for this is to learn everything you need can be very expensive, you have to search and travel globally to find it, and it can take 5-10 years to gain the right experience and establish your reputation.   We've condensed that into an action-packed and intensive 1-year diploma course.  

So how have others gotten their start?
