Valmy Academy’s performing-arts pathway is designed to grow with each student. Many begin their journey in our Elite Musical Theatre program, where they build strong foundations in singing, dancing, acting and ensemble performance. From there, students can transition into our Industry Day program — an immersive, full-day training experience identical to the Certificate III schedule, including all performances and productions, but without the written or theory components. This provides the perfect bridge into formal vocational study through the Certificate III in Community Dance, Theatre & Events (Musical Theatre stream), where students gain nationally recognised accreditation while continuing the same hands-on creative work. Graduates can then advance into the Certificate IV in Musical Theatre, taking their craft to a professional level with deeper technical study, solo projects and industry-ready performance experience. Each stage is carefully designed to meet students where they are, nurturing confidence, skill, and artistry every step of the way.
Beyond mastering acting, singing, and dancing, we teach our students the values of commitment, ethics, professionalism, self-discipline, excellence, resilience, and consistency. VALMY ACADEMY graduates are strong, confident, and highly skilled performers. They deliver authentic performances, excel vocally and physically, and uphold the highest standards of professionalism. When directors and producers hire an VALMY ACADEMY graduate, they are assured of engaging a performer of exceptional quality and reliability.

To undertake and successfully complete all of the units of competency within an individual qualification, students will need to possess reading, writing, and numeracy skills at the applicable unit level. As part of the enrolment process students will be provided with an electronic link by ATOD that will enable them to undertake an ‘online’ evaluation to determine their current level of skills in the three areas. Please note some units of competency do not require all three skills concurrently. The results of the evaluation will determine if a student requires any learning support whilst undertaking each unit of competency.
These qualification will provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge with which they could pursue a career in the Creative Arts/Performing Arts industries.
Students will learn skills which are transferrable between vocations, such as team work, advertising and marketing of events, as well as production management, audition techniques for performance and workplace health & safety requirements for the creative arts industries.
