Changes in qualifications
The online and in-person workshops coincide with some recent changes in Director qualifications.
Bridge NSW has changed Directing levels to D (Club), C (Congress) and B (State). For each level, there is a course that needs to be completed.
Assessment for the D level has changed to an online assessment, which must be completed annually to maintain qualification.
The Director Development page includes a list of upcoming workshops, such as the online workshop above which is the first of a series of workshops.
If you have specific topics you would like to see covered in these workshops, please email directing@bridgensw.com.au.
