Guide to the different Membership Subscription
Categories
Student
Membership
You do not have to be in full-time education to
take advantage of this category. If you hold Intermediate,
Advanced 1 or Advanced 2 in one of the Theatre
Faculties, or the 'Student Member' qualification
in one of the Dance Sport Faculties, but you have
not yet gained your Associate status, then this
is suitable for you. However, you should not be
teaching or entering candidates for examinations
in the Theatre Faculties unless you become Pre-Registered.
If you wish to become a Student Member or you
know someone who does, please ask the Membership
Department for a student enrolment form.
Pre-Registration
Student members can apply for Pre-Registration
if you wish to enter candidates for examinations.
Pre-Registration is a two-year period at the end
of which you must have gained Associate status.
You must also be entering candidates for examinations
within the first twelve months and regularly thereafter.
Pre-Registration
is also available to non-members who do not hold
any ISTD VGED qualifications through application
to the Membership Department. As a successful
applicant, you will be required to take the appropriate
VGED exams plus the Associate examination at the
end of the two-year period. Once again, you are
expected to enter candidates for examinations
within the first twelve months and regularly thereafter.
Provisional
Registration
After successful completion of your Associate,
you can then begin work on your Associate Diploma
examination (Theatre Faculties only) if you are
actively teaching and entering candidates for
examinations. This is a three-year period at the
end of which you must meet the requirements for
the Associate Diploma. A portfolio entitled 'Record
of Studies' must be completed by UK candidates,
as well as two practical examinations. If you
become Provisionally Registered, you will pay
the Full Teaching subscription. Further information
regarding this qualification can be gained from
ISTD headquarters.
Non-Active
Professional Registration
This is available to all members holding Associate
status or above who are not actively teaching.
To pay the reduced rate, you must sign the declaration
on the Subscription Reminder Form to state that
you will not be teaching throughout the year and
that you will not advertise your ISTD qualifications
Note: if you are not employed when you pay your
subscription, but you will be looking for employment
during the year, you must pay the full subscription.
Full
Subscription
All members holding Associate status or above
who are actively teaching must pay the full subscription.
Joint
Subscription
The joint subscription is made up of one and a
half times the full subscription. If you and your
partner, or spouse, wish to receive only one copy
of DANCE between you, then you may pay this category
of subscription.
Affiliation
The affiliation fee is no longer available for
new applicants, but is paid by members who were
not qualified as Associate members and were allowed
to continue entering candidates for examinations
when registration was first introduced in 1986.
Life
Membership
If you are a member of the ISTD and have held
a Licentiate or Fellowship qualification for 35
years or more whilst consistently paying your
membership subscriptions during this time, you
may apply to the Membership Department for Life
Membership. There is no membership fee for this
category, but you do have to pay the annual subscription
for DANCE if you wish to continue receiving it.
