+New Information for 2018/19

Dual Tour Model

The Dual Tour model is now providing maximum flexibility and many more options for teachers, in terms of when and where candidates can be entered for exams. In addition, it has created opportunities for examination entry where none has existed in the past. As outlined last year:

• You have the option to enter candidates in an RAV in every session that is offered in your province.

• You can enter candidates in an AEC and an RAV in the same session; simply use a separate online entry form for each.

• If you do not have enough candidates to have an examiner come to your studio for an AEC session, or if your studio does not meet the minimum size requirements, your exams can be held at an RAV (RAV exam fees would apply).

Solo Seal Exams

To help teachers and students prepare in the most effective manner, dates for Solo Seal exams will now be announced in advance. For the 2018-19 Academic year, we are planning Solo Seal exams as follows:

• Ottawa (Monday, December 3, 2018)• Edmonton (Saturday, March 2, 2019)• Vancouver (Friday, March 8, 2019)• Toronto (Saturday, May 25, 2019)

As per the RAD Specifications, a minimum number of entries must be received in order for the Solo Seal exams to go ahead. Should this minimum number not be reached, students will have the option of either transferring their application to another city, or withdrawing their entry.

Hosting

If your entry does not meet the minimum three hours of exam time or $1,575 in exam fees, you have the following options:

• Pay a top-up fee to bring your entry to the minimum $1,575 exam fee requirement. Complete and pay for your entry online and then contact your exam planner at the RAD Canada office to pay the top-up fee.

• Make arrangements in advance to have your exams hosted at another teacher’s studio. When completing your online entry, indicate in the ‘notes’ section the name of the studio where you have arranged to hold your exams.

• Have your candidates take their exams at an RAV.

5

Discovering Repertoire Beginning with the Fall 2018 session, teachers can enter their students for Discovering Repertoire exams or class awards.

There are three levels in the programme, and each level contains three units. The Levels refer to their placement on the UK educational framework, so Level 2 is equivalent to Grade 5/Intermediate Foundation standard; Level 3 is equivalent to Grades 6 - 8, Intermediate and Advanced Foundation standard; and Level 4 is equivalent to Advanced 1 and Advanced 2 standard.

Please note that while the Discovering Repertoire levels are of equivalent standard to the vocational levels, they cannot be used as substitutes for pre-requisites for Advanced Foundation, Advanced 1 or Advanced 2 exams.

✓Exams take place on one day or on consecutive days

✓Exams can be spread out throughout the session

✓ *Note: Candidates entering for Grade 6 and above at RAVs need to be prepared to dance with any other candidate, as entries for these levels may be combined with other studios.

Studio Size Requirements

Sizes below refer to the performing space only, i.e., excluding the area required for the pianist and examiner. The space should not contain obstructions to the examiner’s sightlines (e.g., pillars)

Examination Type Minimum Size

+Rules & Conditions of Entry


Entry Submissions

All entries must be submitted online.

Late entries are accepted at the RAD’s discretion and are subject to the following late fees:

• 10% surcharge up to 1 week late• 20% surcharge between 1 and 2 weeks late

After the closing date, requests for changes to the schedule due to cancellations or other reasons must be submitted to your exam planner in writing. If approved, all changes will incur a minimum fee of $100.

Be sure to indicate all teachers responsible for the preparation of each candidate.

A limited number of impossible dates may be indicated on your entry form. Do not enter candidates who expect to be away for a large portion of the session, as RAD Canada cannot consider the extended absence of a few candidates as a valid restriction for the entire studio.

A notification specifying the time, date and location for exams will be sent to the designated correspondent at least two weeks before the beginning of the session.

Reasonable Adjustments

Candidates who are concerned about entering for an exam due to a barrier such as a disability or medical condition, may submit a Reasonable Adjustment application. The RAD will review the submission and make adjustments to administrative and/or exam procedures, if these are judged to be reasonable, necessary and practicable.

Pre-requisites

Candidates may enter for an exam and its pre-requisite in the same session. In this case, the award of the exam (if passed) will be dependent on the required pre-requisite also being passed.

Examination Pre-requisite

Advanced Foundation Intermediate

Advanced 1 Intermediate

Advanced 2 Advanced 1

Solo Seal Advanced 2 (Distinction)

Multiple Exams

Candidates may:• re-take an exam as many times as they wish, regardless of the

result• take two exams in the same session• take one or more units of the Discovering Repertoire

Programme at one session; however, each unit will be examined separately
