NVQ Academy

nvq academy

At NVQ Academy we have specialised in the delivery of Vocational Qualifications within the Childcare and Care Sectors since 1996. NVQ Academy works with Organisations to establish a system that streamlines the qualification process by using naturally occurring Performance Evidence and utilises your own in-house training for Knowledge evidence.  The use of Work-Based assessment allows for the creation of an integrated rolling programme of qualifications that can occur within your own time/requirement frameworks. We are not reliant on Government funding and therefore staff do not need to complete extraneous elements required for funding only purposes - and can concentrate on any regulatory bodies (and/or your own) requirements. Our use of in-house Work-Based Assessors* also eliminates the need for outside personnel to visit your care settings.  This is valued by our clients who have sensitive environments. *Training and Qualification (if necessary) of an appropriate senior member of your staff included in package price. Note: Minimum number of Learners apply If you do not have a senior member of staff available to act as a Work-Based Assessor - please contact us to discuss alternative arrangements. Please note - All the Qualifications offered by NVQ Academy are vocational qualifications and require the Learner/s to be working within the Childcare/Care Sector in order to provide the relevant evidence.  We are unable to deliver Qualifications directly to single Learners or those who are not employed in the Care Sector. NVQ Academy offers the following Awards throughout England: * Level 3 Diploma Residential Childcare * Level 5 Diploma Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare * Level 3 Diploma Children and Young People's Workforce - Social Care Pathway - Learning and Development Pathway * Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care * Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Children and Young People Services - Residential Management Pathway - Management Pathway - Advanced Practice Pathway * Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care Services - Residential Management Pathway - Management Pathway -Advanced Practice Pathway * Level 3 Certificate Assessing Vocational Achievement - offered as part of Diploma Packages * subject to minimum number of Candidates at site and availability of an appropriate senior member of staff to act as a Work-Based Assessor (Training and Qualification included in package price)

London

The Giles Foreman Centre for Acting is a dynamic professional acting studio based in Soho, in the heart of London; together with GFCA International Centres in Europe and USA. We are the leading Centre for Character Analysis. We provide distinctive, enjoyably rigorous and person-centred training for aspiring individuals and professional actors – taught by some of the leading acting, movement, voice, analysis, improvisation and camera-technique coaches available. If you choose to come to GFCA, we provide many ways to participate; regular part-time acting classes; short intensive workshops; one-to-one coaching; and 2-, 3- and 4-term full-time courses. Since March 2020 we have also embraced a wider, global community through online training, particularly in Character Analysis, Movement Psychology and advanced scene-study with Giles Foreman. People new to acting can discover the skills through our beginners’ classes and workshops, progressing onward part-time; or take our Foundation Acting ATCL Diploma over 3 terms (Saturday, and evening route). Those who think they may be ready – you may have have previous acting or performing experience, have studied at University, or come via other routes – audition for our 4-term 16-month advanced intensive Acting Diploma (Post-Graduate equivalent-level). Ours is amongst the most affordable courses of its kind in the country, and yet it is built around intensive teaching by renowned coaches, with small class sizes designed to develop people as thoroughly as possible. It is vigorous, focussed, demanding; based on a huge tradition, producing actors with skills tailored for the modern film, TV and theatre industries. Pro weekend session Professional actors come to develop their skills through acting classes and workshops with top practitioners from all over the world – and to create projects in both film and theatre. Actors can use studio coaches and facilities to prepare for auditions, and to develop in-depth characters for film roles that they have already secured. Alongside actor-training, GFCA offers casting and coaching-services, and scriptwriting development to the film industry. Due to our location in Soho, centre of the UK media industries, GFCA also offers many opportunities to meet casting directors, directors and producers through regular events; plays, showcases, castings, play-readings and Industry events. The acting philosophy at the studio was developed from that of the original Drama Centre London under Christopher Fettes, Yat Malmgren and Reuven Adiv, who together trained some of the leading UK actors of recent years – from Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, Simon Callow, Geraldine James, Frances de la Tour – to Helen McCrory, Anne Marie Duff, Paul Bettany, Tara Fitzgerald, Lambert Wilson, Michael Fassbender, Tom Hardy, Santiago Cabrera, Gwendoline Christie, Ryan Gage and John Simm, to name but a few. Christopher Fettes, founder of Drama Centre London, holds the title of tutor-emeritus for our studio. The teaching process utilises a system of methods within Realism. We are one of the very few centres in the world providing detailed training courses in the extraordinary Laban/Jungian technique of Character Analysis / Movement Psychology developed by Yat Malmgren, to develop people’s psychological understanding both of themselves and the characters they are playing. Our holistic acting education is influenced by Stanislavski, as well as the philosophy of Lee Strasberg, Uta Hagen, Stella Adler and Sanford Meisner, creating actors capable of sophisticated, transformative performance. The Centre has relationships with other similar organisations around the world and offers many exchange programmes. In 2015 we opened our sister centre, GFCA Paris, joining GFCA International bases in other cities such as New York & LA; GFCA Luxembourg, and GFCA Zürich We have substantial expertise in delivering Corporate training both in the UK and abroad. We have also established a publishing arm, launching the book A Peopled Labyrinth written by Drama Centre founder Christopher Fettes in September 2015. Character Analysis - THE Book Character Analysis – THE Book Additionally we provide space for room-hire, casting facilities and rehearsal-space for individuals and organisations.

Lorna Pilates Sheffield

lorna pilates sheffield

My background is nursing having worked as an Emergency Nurse Practitioner in the Emergency department for many years, formally working as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner in a GP surgery. I am passionate about helping people become well and whole, to live life to their full potential. My career took a change of course when I trained to become a Body Control Pilates teacher, after a number of years of personal experience in Body Control Pilates, which I started after advice from a physiotherapist. I have appreciated the benefit of Pilates for my own health as well as improved performance in the sport I do - climbing, mountain biking, skiing. Through Pilates and working with those with PoTS and Long-COVID, I wanted to learn more about breathing, and realised the benefit of breathing well has on our health and wellbeing. For a long time I have been aware of the mind-body connection and the influence of stress (current, past and personality types) have on our body. I am now trained as a Stress Induced Recovery Practitioner working with those with stress induced symptoms. Movement and breathing and acknowledging the impact of stress on our body, will help calm our nervous system. I have a specific interest in those with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) and Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), Long-COVID and any other chronic health conditions.
