Although every attempt is made to adhere to the advertised examination periods as above, it may on occasion be necessary to cancel some dates after publication and offer alternatives where required.

Imperial Ballet Grade Examinations:
All Imperial Classical Ballet Grade examinations will be conducted using the Paul Stobart music and candidates will be required to use the official pianist.

FDI units 4 & 5 and CDE units 6 & 7:
Applications for these examinations can only be accepted if candidates have a specific reason why they cannot be entered at the Approved Dance Centre with which they are registered.

Fellowship Examinations:
Due to the availability of students required for the class section of Fellowship examinations, it may additionally be necessary to arrange for some of these exams to be held on weekdays (i.e. Monday – Friday).

It is hoped that candidates will be flexible regarding their availability in order to allow for this and should state on the application form whether they would be available on a weekday.

London centre

Please read the following notes carefully before submitting applications to the London Centre:

• Applications received after the advertised closing dates will only be accepted if there is space available or if a cancellation occurs. Telephone applications can not be accepted.
• The London Centre is designed to accommodate teachers entering Grade and Class examinations who have a total entry of under 31⁄2 hours. Regretfully entries of more than this cannot be accepted.
• Teachers may stipulate the reason for any impossible dates on their application form if necessary. We will attempt to allocate your examination accordingly, however this cannot be guaranteed. With particular reference to Fellowship and Licentiate examinations, it is hoped that applicants will make themselves available for all the advertised dates.
• Teachers entering candidates for Tap examinations should state clearly on the application form their preference for a CD or Pianist when there is a choice. The London Centre organiser will endeavour to accommodate requests but your preference cannot be guaranteed. It is advised that Tap Grade candidates are familiar with both the Brian Dee Trio and Guy Dearden set syllabus CDs.
• Please contact the Centre Examinations Administrator to verify dates for Professional Cecchetti exams and all National and Classical Greek exams.

For queries regarding London Centre examinations or to request an application form please contact Emily Fenton or Michaela Palmer at ISTD HQ.
