Career development opportunities and genuine career pathways in Dance available in Canberra & Queanbeyan!
Nationally accredited qualifications
EVELVATE program
Delivered in partnership with Empowerdance Pty Ltd. RTO 40397.
ELEVATE is a unique way for students to study a National qualification through Bom Funk Dance Studio, and Empowerdance Pty Ltd RTO 40397. We are thrilled to be an approved provider with Empowerdance where our students can use the classes they participate in with us and put them toward nationally accredited certificate qualifications.
Each week Empowerdance master trainers conduct our theory classes for our students via an online classroom platform.
All of their theory assessments are uploaded and completed through the quality online portal, which students will have access to, using their own log in.
Certificate III and IV students will have the opportunity to work alongside one of our dance teachers to gain valuable experience for some of their student teaching and teaching units.
Students will also work alongside their peers for group assessments, and the nature of these qualifications allows the student to have flexibility with their learning and be marked as competent or not yet competent.
*Students must be enrolled and attend Bom Funk Dance Studio classes to complete their practical components of the certificate courses (additional class costs and administration fee applies). Cert III in Assistant Dance Teaching and Cert IV in Dance Teaching & Management involves you working as part of the Bom Funk faculty and therefore an interview process must be held first.
