Accredited Prior Learning (APL) for Non ISTD Members

It is now possible for non-ISTD members to have their prior learning and experience accredited towards their FDI and CDE qualifications.

This process, which is free to ISTD members, is charged at £100 per application to non-ISTD members to cover the administrative time to ascertain the correct level and grading for non-ISTD qualifications.

To receive a non-ISTD APL form or for further information please contact the Education and Training Department direct on educationassistant@istd.org where we will be happy to advise you

Registration

All candidates who wish to complete the FDI and/or CDE must register at an Approved Dance Centre by filling in a Candidate Registration Form (white for FDI and yellow for CDE).

New Candidates
If you are completing the whole qualification, you need to register through an Approved Dance Centre (ADC) after ensuring you hold the relevant entry requirements. A listing of ADC’s can be found here >>

APL Candidates
If you only need to complete Module 2 and/or the Background to a Chosen Dance Genre essay, you may choose to use ISTD HQ as your Approved Dance Centre. However, if you need to complete any of Module 1 or the Dance Practice units, you must register through a local Approved Dance Centre as HQ is unable to offer these practical units.
