RAD Ballet Exams
What are RAD Exams?
We focus on teaching the RAD’s classical ballet syllabus which provides wide range of exams and assessments to motivate and reward students of all ages and abilities. RAD exams are recognised internationally for their quality and the syllabus is taught by professional educators who retain their high standards through participation in an annual continuing professional development programme.
Each year, a quarter of a million candidates across the globe choose to take their dance exams with the RAD.
Why do exams?
Exams provide an opportunity for students to perform in front of an examiner and celebrate their progress. They are a goal to work towards alongside other dancing objectives and performance opportunities.
Exams are administered by the RAD Examinations Board. In Australia RAD Vocational Graded qualifications are endorsed by State awarding bodies in Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania for credits towards the Certificate of Education.
RAD Graded qualifications are also recognised in Tasmania for credits toward the Certificate of Education.
Are exams compulsory?
Exams are supported and encouraged at our school but they are not compulsory and many students choose not to do exams. There are no pre-requisites for any RAD graded exams and exams can be started at any age.
