The Professional Pathways Programme (PPP) is similar to an apprenticeship programme. We give you the training and skills to begin a career in Flying Trapeze. Your training time is paid, and at the end of the programme, you will have learned the necessary skills to be a platform assistant at a London Grande Volant flying trapeze school.
The programme is aimed at young people between the ages of 17-23, who love physical activity, like interacting with lots of different people and may have faced barriers to accessing training opportunities, particularly in circus.
Our programme is now in its third year and has been successful in securing work and opportunities in circus for young people who would not otherwise have had an opportunity.
All the details, including how to apply, can be found on our website.
The application deadline is Wednesday 25th February

We were previously taught that art is a paintbrush and paper but today has shown us that art is a huge world. City Lions is a good thing to do as it provides really good opportunities to visit places like this (Somerset House).
