Courses

The SiDI Certificates are designed to encourage Continuing Professional Development, both to achieve a Certificate and to stimulate ongoing engagement with the topics to regularly refresh your practice.

Undertaking study to gain or supplement knowledge of healthy dance, as incorporated in our Core Principles©, can be done in several ways. If you already have a good foundation in these subject areas, you may not need much or any assistance to complete your materials for review. Alternatively, if healthy dance awareness is new for you, it is a good idea to seek some support.

We suggest a variety of study routes depending on your needs.

Online Courses

Safe in Dance International has been working with People Dancing to develop an online course which enables access to learning without the need to attend a course in person. Preparing for Safer Dance Practice covers all the information required in the Preparation for Healthy Dance Practice Certificate as well as an introduction to some of the content in other SiDI Core principles.
Upcoming Courses

There is no requirement to complete a course in preparation for any of the SiDI Certificates. However, many candidates prefer to attend a dedicated course that tailors the appropriate knowledge and helps them to direct their study towards the specific requirements successfully. These courses are managed by our SiDI- endorsed Registered Providers who set their own fees, often including the Certificate entrance fee in their package, and who schedule their events at various locations and times through out the year.

The Registered Providers can either deliver short lectures and presentations that highlight one or two Core Principles, or frequently full courses that cover all of the Core Principles. If you take part in any of these events, you will be awarded a Certificate of Attendance attracting a number of CPD hours depending on the length of the course and the number of Core Principles covered. For example, you can gain 1.5 hours for a lecture addressing one Core Principle or up to 22 hours by attending a full course that covers all ten Core Principles. A full course usually takes approximately 4-5 full days.
Mentoring

If you feel that you need a small amount of personal assistance, SiDI and our Registered Providers also deliver mentoring and online support at an additional cost. This ranges from a bespoke package for an organisation in order to support a group of teachers or students, to provision of between 1 and 4 hours of one to one contact. This can be in person, depending on your location, or via email or Skype.
Independent study

If you already have some knowledge of healthy dance practice and are confident enough to self-study, you can simply register with SiDI and we will send you all the relevant guidance and a resource/reading list. You will then have one year from your registration date to submit your work for review.
