At DFC, our faculty are the best of the best, all working professionals and true experts in their respective fields. This elite lineup of tutors know the industry because they live it, and bring real world insights directly to our students every day!

We are absolutely thrilled to introduce Jessica Fossey as our BTEC Course Lead this year and we count our lucky stars to have such a dedicated, kind and hard working staff member leading the way 🫶🏼✨

Jess and her incredible team deliver a timetable designed to provide THE BEST training possible. Their guidance is why our graduates possess the discipline to excel at top higher education colleges and universities.

We pride ourselves on training high calibre triple threat performers. Our dance, singing, and acting training ensures our students are well rounded and ready to tackle the competitive industry and its demands head on.

We’re deeply proud of the community we have built. It’s hard work, but when you step into DFC, you feel the lovely, welcoming, and nurturing environment that makes us so unique. Here, every student is heard, considered, involved, and celebrated 🎉
