Musical Theatre Introductory Training (CPD)

Join us as we launch the RAD’s Musical Theatre Syllabus! Be among the first to enter students for the new exams.

Explore the RAD’s brand‑new Musical Theatre syllabus in a dedicated three‑day Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course designed to equip teachers with the skills, insight, and confidence to deliver this exciting new genre.

Across three days, the course covers how to deliver singing, acting and dancing in your classes, with a view to preparing your students for exams. You don’t necessarily need to have had previous experience in all three areas: you will take away the skills and confidence to incorporate this exciting new genre into your studio. 

RAD Registered Teachers must attend and complete the full course in order to enter students for RAD Musical Theatre exams, making this an essential step for anyone planning to embrace this new business opportunity.

This ticket includes:

• In-person attendance at our London headquarters.
• Your own copy of the new RAD Musical Theatre Syllabus book.
• 20 hours of Time-Valued CPD**.

There are only 90 places available on this exclusive Musical Theatre Introductory Training (CPD) course — make sure you secure your place today! Further regional CPD opportunities will be available throughout 2026/27. If you want to be at the forefront of this new chapter in RAD’s artistic journey, this is the moment to join in.

Pay for your ticket in instalments

This ticket is for the Musical Theatre Introductory Training (CPD) only, and does not give you access to the Members’ Conference. Interested in attending both? A bundle pass is available here.

The Musical Theatre Introductory Training (CPD) sessions on Friday take place at the same time as the AGM, so you won’t be able to attend both live. If you are eligible to vote in the AGM, you will have the opportunity to vote in advance. A recording of the AGM will also be available to watch after the conference. 

**Participants who have exceeded their required CPD hours for the 2025/26 CPD year can carry forward any additional hours gained from the Musical Theatre CPD course and Members’ Conference into 2026/27.
