– WHY SHOULD I TAKE MY TEACHING QUALIFICATION NOW?

Renaissance believes that if you combine your training now, fee expenditure now and complement your existing college training now, you will save time and resources later down the line, following your performance career and be able to veer straight into a new angle of the industry. RA provides training by a senior ISTD examiner, which ensures your qualification studies are to the highest standard. 

– WHAT DO I GAIN?

The full DDE qualification awards 120 credits at Level 4 on the Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF) in the UK and the Credit and Qualifications Framework in Wales (CQFW). This equates to 120 credits at Level 5 of the European Qualification Framework (EQF).

The diploma is recognised by Ofqual and is on the Register of Regulated Qualifications Framework at Level 4. This means that it is equivalent to first year study of a Bachelor’s undergraduate degree with Honours or an HNC.
