The British Academy for Training and Development offers a course in drama arts and scriptwriting for those looking to develop new ideas in drama and learn the latest methods for writing successful scripts.

In any media field related to writing and authorship, the materials you research and gather information on will not be ready for presentation or publication until they undergo extensive stages of textual and dramatic processing. This involves rewriting the media content in an academic style that meets specific standards and criteria. The material is then organized, including arranging scenes and the characters involved. All these preliminary stages leading to the creation of a script and the specific processes for scriptwriting will be covered in this course, following the latest global curricula.

• Directors and owners of drama production companies.
• Directors of the television and radio production department.
• Writers and authors of dramatic works.
