Hey, I stumbled across these forums while looking for information about various tech production courses. I'm looking to apply at the end of this year and was hoping someone (or someones) would be able to help me by giving some pros and cons about the various degrees.

At the moment I'm looking at apply to NIDA, VCA, WAAPA, USQ and possibly QUT, JCU and the Uni of Ballarat. Any thoughs people could offer on these (or other) courses would be very welcome.

Thanks!

I completed the theare production course at the VCA a couple of years ago and would recommend it from my experience. It covers a wide range of theatre. Starting in first year with subjects in all technichal areas, then you get to choose how you will specialize. I'ts a 3 year bachelor degree.
The VCA also offers a "Graduate Diploma in Dramatic Art (Events and Production)" which sounds like the sort of thing you might be after.
I would advise applying for as many of the courses as possible, even if you're not sure whether you want to go somewhere. Often the interviewers will advise whether the course they offer will be suitable to you.
