Students can enrol for assessment or for audit.
- Assessment students complete all assessments and receive detailed feedback on all their tasks. There is also a 100% attendance expectation for the course.
- Audit students do not complete any assessment, are able to observe all lectures and there isn’t any participation expectation.
Completing an Australian Kodály Certificate Level Course requires participants to complete regular assessment tasks. Setting aside time each week to keep up to date with homework and practice means that you won’t have overdue tasks towards the end of the course.
Certificates are provided at completion, showing up to 60 hours of professional development. Please note: audit students will only be provided certificates for verified attendance at online lectures and/or in-person weekends.
The courses are designed to be sequential and developmental in nature, so levels are to be undertaken in order – you must have completed Level One before undertaking Level Two. To find out more about the curriculum, go to https://kodaly.org.au/akc/curriculum/
