It would be less intense and leaves time for other things in your life which can often be a good thing

It really depends on the course. Many of the best drama-schools will only do full-time courses because it gives them your full attention. This is also the reason many of them will advise you to not do any work (acting or not) during your course. If it is possible I would advice you to do a full-time course but I'm aware that due to money and things this may not always be a possibility.

This is a toughie...I know people who have trained for three years and worked non stop...others who have done no training and walked into a west end show.
Over the years the one thing I have realised is that acting is bout commitment and drive....there are brilliant courses but make sure you select a school that is accredited.
Check out the net for good sources...schools like LAMDA , Guildhall, Mountview etc have been going for years for a reason.
Ultimately if you really want to learn every aspect...then take the three years to learn from the pros...investment spent will reap the rewards and hopefully offer you a prolonged career and a happy one...

The Mexican doctor who tells you that lying is the key is wrong.
Acting has nothing to do with lying.
I pity the people they teach as they are clearly the wrong person for the job.
Very few people can do this well and a tiny proportion of them actually want to work.
Most 'actors' end up doing something else for a living.
If you really want to do this then you'll probably be fine.
But there are no half-measures and you want it or you do not.
I suspect you do not so maybe do amateur work and get a good day job.
Good luck either way.

No, not really. I went to a full-time acting course for two years, and I'm still not a great actor.

You either have the ability or you do not. It can be learnt, over a period of time but requires practice. Ask yourself this question: Are you a good liar? If the answer is yes then you can do it. Trust me, I'm a doctor. I'm not being cynical but being a good liar is what it takes. Plus some hard work. If you want to know more contact me. I am a lecturer in Drama, albeit in Mexico.

Depending on the instructor, a part time course can be better than a full time one.

No, if you want to act, take a full-time course. It takes years to learn to become a great actor.

It depends. Lets see...is a doctor who got his phd from the internet for $400 a better doctor than one who studied for years? Probably not...my advice to you is to be the real thing...you can't fast-track the learning of a craft!
