Teacher training with the RAD

We offer internationally acclaimed dance and dance teaching qualifications including undergraduate and postgraduate university validated awards and professional awards.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is about you. Our scheme gives you an opportunity to take time out to develop your creative, teaching and business skills.

The Certificate in Dance Teaching (Ballet) (CTD) is a part-time distance learning programme enabling students to study alongside their personal and professional commitments.

For dancers wishing to gain an internationally-renowned dance teaching qualification.

Currently delivered with Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia, The Boston Conservatory at Berklee (The Conservatory), USA, and the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA), the Access Route to RAD Teacher Registration gives you the knowledge, understanding, and skills required by ballet teachers at the start of their careers. With a focus on the RAD’s ballet syllabi, you will explore the development and progression of ballet technique which will complement the teaching skills acquired in your programme of study with an approved RAD partnership institution.

The Assistant Teacher Award is aimed at 14–18-year-old dance students wishing to take their first steps towards a career in dance teaching. The Award is open to students studying and taking classes in any dance genre, and provides opportunities to practice, develop and demonstrate a range of practical and professional skills required for successful dance teaching.

This new course is aimed at teachers with a ballet teaching qualification at Level 4 or higher, or equivalent, and RAD RTS status will be conferred on successful completion of each of the course modules.

The Benesh Institute is the international centre for Benesh Movement Notation (BMN). Since 1997 it has been incorporated within the RAD. It aims to help the dance profession preserve its heritage and protect choreographic copyright.
