WHAT IS IT?
The NDCA Judging Credential Program offers a unique place for a wide range of members to train, connect and support the role of the dance team adjudicator. We act as an impartial national resource.
WHO CAN TAKE the courses?
Anyone who wishes to learn more about effective adjudication is welcome to participate. This includes people who wish to become a judge, experienced judges, coaches, choreographers, and others who wish to develop their skills and knowledge, network, and earn credentials. Participants must be NDCA members.
If your association would like to participate in the Judging Credential Program as a group, please contact us! We may be able to offer a group discount.

how does it work?
Once a course opens, participants work their way through the course material at their own pace. They read material, review scoresheets and other documents, watch videos, evaluate performances, and take notes to prepare for the virtual class meeting. Each Level ends with a class meeting hosted on Zoom by members of the Judge Credential Team, where participants share and discuss the information they have in their notes. Participants who have taken all three levels and need to renew should retake the Level 2 course.
All online coursework is completed on the CoreAchieve platform.
WHEN ARE courses OFFERED?
All judging credential classes are closed for the season. We will offer online judge credentials next fall.
