2dancersmum Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Actually the 1-2 hours of IPS per week timetabled is quite misleading as much of the work for the level 6 diploma is done in the students own time - weekly logs, research projects and assignments and it depends very much on the student for how much work they put in. Trinity grades are simply 'pass' or 'fail' - both quality and quantity of work varies considerably. When my DD did the diploma , some students were handing in an arch lever file per year and others a single arch lever file for the 3 years. Edited to add - the actual specification for level 6 is roughly a 25:75 split for assessment (theory/practical) Edited May 9, 2018 by 2dancersmum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity graduates are mainly awarded a Merit with an occasional Distinction. As of a Graduation ceremony of an MT college in 2015. I’m not aware that anything has changed since.

2dancersmum Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Balletbean - My DD also graduated in 2015 - in Professional Dance. We were told that the college itself will assess with pass, merit, distinction but no grade on the actual final qualification from Trinity. Certainly DD's certificate has no grades on it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly DD's certificate has no grades on it That’s interesting. A friend of my DD’s received a Distinction but I never had the opportunity to compare the certificates Wondering if the certificates maybe different colours to reflect the level awarded rather than M or D on it.
