As an Ofqual regulated awarding organisation the ISTD is required to check that all examinations that we offer are fit for purpose and have sufficient demand. This means that we need to regularly review our portfolio of qualifications to ensure we are maintaining qualifications that are of a high standard and that are being regularly used by current ISTD teachers.
Additionally, we are continually looking to improve our exams and have an ambition to develop new qualifications to meet the needs of current dance teachers and students. In order to do this, we need to make room within our portfolio by withdrawing qualifications as necessary.
