The courses offered are practical and aimed at developing basic skills that form the basis of stage, radio, film, television, and all forms of public action.
At the ADK a student is expected to attend classes regularly and as in the case of any part-time course, it is essential that preparation be done regularly at home, as passed on by the ADK lecturers.
At the end of the course, a Professional Licentiate Certificate in Drama will be issued to the adult students who pass, an NQF Level 4 Certificate in Drama to high school students, and a Drama Certificate to primary school students.
The lecturers reserve the right to refuse examination to any student who, without a valid reason, is absent from an individual or group class more than twice a term.
A written contract is concluded between the ADK and the student at the beginning of the year.
