ISTD Diploma in Dance Education

Check your DDE exemptions

Tell us a teaching or dance qualification you already hold and we'll match it against the ISTD's approved exemptions table for 2025–2026.

This checker is a guide, not a final decision. It uses the ISTD DDE Planned Exemption Table (September 2025–2026) to show the exemptions you are likely to be eligible for. All exemptions must be approved individually by the ISTD once they have seen evidence of your qualification.
