  2. Hi Jan, Thank you and yes I've updated my signature as requested.
  3. Hi BalletCoForum, There have been lots of interesting and helpful responses to the original post about routes to gaining the ISTD DDE. Chichester College offers several routes to gaining the DDE and as course leader for these teaching qualification pathways I thought I’d provide a bit more information. The college offers a DDE standalone part-time course for: students/teachers who have already achieved the ISTD DDI; for mature dance professionals who wish to move into dance teaching in the private sector; or for young students who wish to gain a Level 4 independent dance teaching qualification but who do not wish to study for a degree. Young students can commence a DDE from the age of 17, but it is highly recommended that they first complete a Level 3 qualification (A levels/ Level 3 Diplomas) as they are unable to undertake the teaching practice units of the DDE until they reach 18 years of age and some units of the DDE have a Level 4 expectation. For students who register before the age of 19 the course is fully funded and hence there are no tuition fees. The College also offers a Foundation Degree in partnership with Chichester University, which gives students who wish to study dance at degree level and gain a DDE in ballet, modern and tap - two qualifications for the price of one! On completion of this 2 year course, students have the option of graduating with a Level 5 Foundation Degree and DDE or, continuing their studies on the University of Chichester’s Level 6 BA Honours Degree or the ISTD Level 6 Diploma in Dance Pedagogy (DDP), which Chichester College is proud to announce will be included in its portfolio of ISTD qualifications from September 2021. For more information about the Foundation Degree, take a look at this video:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DwfrwV3r88wvu0HcJU8EHi5ZIPytELJW/view?usp=sharing Here are the course details on the Chichester college website: https://www.chichester.ac.uk/study-courses/course-list/cfra005f-dance-teaching-in-the-private-sector-foundation-degree- Here are some dance clips of current DDE and Foundation Degree students on Chichester College’s Higher Education Facebook page: https://fb.watch/5Fd1cko1L6/
