Theatre and Dance Sport Faculties
Teaching Qualifications
Please note: Teachers outside of Europe are still able to take Associate and Associate Diploma (Theatre only) examinations. Theatre teachers, please contact Tracey Eames for an updated copy of the guidelines for the faculty in question.

European Teachers, who are intending on entering candidates for examinations in the future, need to complete an Accredited Prior Learning form (APL). Each application is assessed on an individual basis and the teacher will be informed of the outcome. If you are informed that you need to attend courses for various units, please be aware that APL courses are only on offer in the UK at the moment. It is anticipated that these courses could be offered in other European countries in the future but only when there is a sufficient number of teachers that require the course.

Teaching qualifications can only be delivered within an ISTD Approved Dance Centre. If you wish to find out more about how to become an ISTD Approved Dance Centre please click here>>.

Theatre Faculties only
Any changes that take place, within any of the Theatre Faculties, will affect all teachers and candidates worldwide.

Report forms
As from 1st October 2004 report forms from examinations outside of the UK, are being returned to ISTD HQ and are checked by the Customer Services and Quality Assurance Department.

Report forms will be mailed to Teacher 1 as quickly as possible. The address that teachers supply when submitting their timetable for entry is the address to which report forms are mailed. Therefore, please write clearly and include postal codes to ensure delays are kept to a minimum.

Replacement certificates
No replacement certificates can be produced for examinations taken before 1st September 2001, which is the last time the format of certificates changed. Certificates must be printed on the actual certificate that was present at that time and stocks of old certificates are no longer kept at ISTD HQ.

Teachers must check their certificates are correct as soon as they receive them. Teacher one will also receive an Official result sheet which shows all candidates taking examinations on that day, along with their PIN numbers and the results obtained. All successful candidates will receive a certificate or a medal. If any information is not correct, Teacher one must complete the Amendment form within the certificate pack and return to ISTD HQ. If no form was included please contact Kayleigh within the International Examinations Department.

Change to Imperial Ballet set allocation
Please be aware that there is a change to the set allocation for Imperial Ballet Vocational examinations. Candidates for all Imperial Ballet Vocational examinations can be entered singly or in pairs. A set of 3 is no longer acceptable.

Category B
Please be aware that from 1st September 2004, Category B has been replaced. No candidates around the world will be able to enter as a Category B candidate and this ruling applies to all Theatre Vocational examinations. However, if any teacher feels a candidate requires special arrangements, either because of a disability or because they are an older candidate for example, they should contact the Customer Services and Quality Assurance Department for further information or download the form from here>>

Special Arrangement Candidates
Teachers should be aware that any candidate who has been granted special arrangements for an Imperial Ballet or Cecchetti examination must be entered singly. Under no circumstances can they be entered with other candidates. If you require further information on this please contact the Customer Services and Quality Assurance Department.
