Program format
Training for this course will take place in both online and practical based learning environments through various modes of learning such as online webinars, readings, case studies, simulated practical projects and tasks with your class or group. During your dance teaching course, you can expect to undertake the role of a dance teacher from start to finish with tasks based around real classes and scenarios.
This program is completed over a maximum of 20 hours over a maximum duration of 12 months. The volume of learning refers to the total amount of time that a student would be expected to dedicate to the successful completion of the course. It includes the structured part of the course as defined above, as well as the self-study, research and practising of skills that a student would do in their own time.
This distance education program allows you the flexibility to complete the course in a self-paced manner around other commitments such as work or study through flexible online learning. The program is organised to ensure the essential skills and knowledge are learnt to be able to deliver dance to a general level with your group. Theory assessments are comprised of written as well as practical based project tasks with dance students that will involve the submission of videos as evidence.
