This programme is for STTC graduates only. STTC graduates have already received their Street Dance Teacher Certification from The Street Dance Teacher Training Company and now want to convert their Certification into a Qualification.

The first two days of the programme will be spent refreshing your skill set and teaching you new skills in order for you to be able to get your Level 4, QCF Street Dance Teaching Qualification. The second two days of the programme you will spend being externally examined.

The external examinations will include practical and oral exams. You will run a Street Dance class (just like you did before) and be externally assessed. You will also have some videos to watch to highlight good and bad Street Dance teaching practice.

There will also be group exams, where a topic will be discussed in a group and examiners will be listening for responses. There will also be some lesson planning that will need to be submitted. We will of course ensure your skills are refreshed and you have all the up to date training, information and skills you will need in order to receive the Level 4 QCF qualification.

After you have completed the programme, if you pass, you will receive your Level 4 QCF Street Dance Teaching Qualification.

QCF stands for the Qualifications Credit Framework.

The Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) is the new way of recognising vocational achievement through the award of credit for units and qualifications.

The qualification is awarded through Performance Arts Awards.

The framework under which the qualification is set, is recognised by Ofqual (England), The Welsh Assembly (Wales) and CEA (Scotland).

Upon successful completion of the programme, the following bodies and their logos will be on your qualification certificate:

• The Street Dance Teacher Training Company
• Performance Arts Awards
• Ofqual
• The Welsh Assembly
• CEA

These are UK recognised awarding bodies.

In brief, the assessment for the qualification forms the last two days of the programme.

The assessment includes:

• A 30 minute practical teaching session
• Watching a DVD and identifying good/bad teaching practice
• Talking through a lesson plan
• Planning 10 weeks of lessons (we'll give you a template and framework to use)
• Preparing and running a 10-15 minute segment of class (either warm up, choreography teaching or cool down)

Normally, you will be informed within 1 month of the programme finishing.

If you don't pass, you will be given feedback and asked to resubmit video evidence. There may be a small fee for this (for example £30-50).

Please get in touch 020 7183 0020 for more details.

If you do not pass the first time round, and had a few key areas that the examiners said you needed to work on, you would be give then opportunity to submit footage on the areas that need improvement in order for you to to pass and get your qualification. You will not have to pay in full again, there would just be a nominal charge to cover administration fees.

If you failed all of the examinations and video footage would not suffice, you would have to come back and re-attend the examinations. If you had to attend the whole 4 day programme again, there would be a charge for this.

There are only 20 spaces on each programme.
