miss.pointe Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm going through my old certificates for my dance teaching exam but I only seem to remember anything ballet-related!!! On my Jazz Award for Bronze it says I got result A - what were the categories and what does that mean? I vaguely remember getting Honours - is that what A means? It was in 2000 if things have changed. I've tried the ISTD website but can't seem to find it. Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss.pointe Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 I think after all that I've found it - it's Distinction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pups_mum Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 A is equivalent to distinction in the RAD system. I think it's over 80% in ISTD. If I understand it correctly, all the organisations whose qualifications are recognised by whatever the national body is called (sorry, that's slipped my mind) had to have 3 categories of success. RAD went for distinction, merit and pass and ISTD is A, B, and C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 ISTD changed to "Distinction, Merit" etc a few years ago, if I remember rightly. Dd's baby ISTD exams (pre-primary, primary etc) had A and B but her recent Modern exam had "Distinction". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe her teacher is just using the old nomenclature from habit? I've never actually looked at the certificates. She's doing some more shortly so I shall make a point of checking this time!

Moomin Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Our recent istd exams were distinction, merit etc rather than a-c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pups_mum Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Whoops. Just goes to show how much notice I take doesn't it? Better not let DD read this.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss.pointe Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Thanks all - it feels like it's been ages since I understood some of this! A good 10 years plus! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
