Schools, academies, studios and centres can use the following process to explore Urdang International Awards without redesigning their whole offer at once.Quick answer: where should you start?Begin by defining the outcome you want to support. Review the current UIA programme information, identify the route that appears closest to your needs and submit an enquiry with details of your setting. The Awards team can then clarify availability, requirements and the appropriate next step.Step 1: define the learner outcomeDecide what you want the programme to add. The priority might be a structured examination, a performance award linked to a production or showcase, a new subject pathway, or a clearer way to support creative progression. Keep the first goal specific enough to guide the choice.Step 2: map the existing timetable and activityList the classes, productions, showcases and assessment points already in the calendar. Identify where a UIA programme could complement that work without creating unnecessary duplication. Note the teaching time, rehearsal space, staff capacity and likely learner group.Step 3: review the current UIA optionsUse official UIA pages and documents to compare the available programme routes. Look for the intended learner group, preparation needs, assessment format, operational requirements and the documents teachers would need. If information is unclear or appears outdated, ask the Awards team to confirm it before making plans.Step 4: choose a manageable starting pointA focused first implementation is easier to review than a large change across every class. An organisation might begin with one learner group, one subject area or one existing performance. The correct starting point will depend on the current programme offer and should be confirmed through the enquiry process.BARRY TURNER & SONOther News01BARRY TURNER & SON01
