Reynolds offers professional training from elite industry staff.

Our training focuses on the demands of the industry and continually adapts to accommodate the changes within the profession. Learners’ individual needs are skilfully met with the use of carefully devised timetables and individual learning plans. These are constructed to ensure all learners’ individual career goals are recognised and achieved.

The expectation on the learners to achieve is high. Throughout a learner’s training their progress and development is carefully monitored to ensure all learners attain their full potential. Class sizes are small allowing learners to grow in confidence and grasp skills and techniques. Learners will be streamed according to their technical ability to ensure that the classes they attend are specifically targeted to maximise their progress. Learners will have the opportunity to move to the most appropriate level each term. Our strong team of staff not only nurtures the talents of each individual, but creates a relaxed approachable working atmosphere for learners to thrive in. Guest teachers bring unique qualities to the training. The experience and first hand knowledge these professionals impart is invaluable to the learners.

Time is spent discussing audition techniques, professional skills, career planning and business preparation. Learners are provided with realistic views of the technical demands of their chosen careers, fully preparing them as working professionals.
