BAMT's Full Time Advanced Musical Theatre Course is an intensive year of musical theatre training open to graduates of BAMT's Musical Theatre Course, or external students with significant prior experience or training. The course is designed to take a deep dive into the disciples of acting, singing and dancing with a view to assisting students to becoming triple threat performers and improve eligibility for BAMT's Performance Course.

BAMT'S Full Time Advanced Musical Theatre Course is the only training program in Australia housed within a major performing arts venue (Hayward Street Studios), which is also the home of Harvest Rain, Australia's largest not-for-profit youth arts organisation and producer of musical theatre. Students are afforded the opportunity to train in the same venue where some of Australia's biggest musical theatre stars are rehearsing and performing, and the students regularly benefit from a range of formal and informal encounters with these luminaries.
