It's time to study
There is both a theory and dance portion in the exam. Get ready by reviewing the syllabus videos in our online library and studying syllabus manuals. You can purchase those here.
Consider booking time with a Dance Vision Examiner for tips on how to best prepare. The Dance Vision Examiner that tutors you is not permitted to conduct your examination.

Take deep breaths and wear something professional and easy to dance in. Remember that our organization and examiner want the best for you in this exciting journey.
Your completed exam will be sent to the DV HQ where it is reviewed and processed. As long as the aforementioned steps are finished, your certificate will arrive quickly in the mail.
In the case you don't pass your exam, you are not required to pay for another 6 months when you try again. Don't feel discouraged - plenty of teachers have required a do-over. If you retake your exam after 6 months from the first one, you will be required to pay again.
