I am doing a 3 day course on grade 4/5 RAD new syllabus to comply with CPD though I won't teach it but it is near my home and I don't have to stay over in a hotel as I would have to do if I went to the advanced courses I really want.Did the Primary course what a waste of a day. Have introduced some IDTA lower ballet grades and children like them and they are more like the old RAD grade,choreograph the dance, free improvisation. .Enough to teach in year to a really good technical standard. Work was set by RAD trained exam board. Not too expensive for parents.Teacher organises day, students can be added or withdrawn on the day.No pressure, fill in a form ask for the day you want and everything is great plus the school is billed for numbers on the day,pay the bill and get 25% of fees returned. Hard to keep a school afloat with just RAD.No pre-registration.Really friendly headquarters and talk to the examiner 2 weeks before to advise of any changes etc.AND no CPD spend a really friendly day in July in Southport at the Congress. Exams carry UCAS points.
