OPEN
DAYS

Joining one of our open days will give you a great insight into a day at college. Commencing with a short presentation from our Principal, you will then participate in classes, working with our industry professional tutors, learning techniques and advice you can take away with you. During your visit you can shadow and be supported by our current students; ask them questions and understand what life is like at The PAD.

Our open days are held at our 10,000 sqf purpose-built studios in the centre of Dunstable, next door to our associates The Grove Theatre.
