WSDC Collaborative Education Training Resources
The World Swing Dance Council (WSDC) and the Affiliated Judges Program (AJP) recognize the approved training programs listed below. While the WSDC does not have an official Judges Training program, we encourage all Judge Trainees to take a variety of educational programs. The WSDC does not endorse any specific program or trainer/mentor, but the curricula outlined in these approved programs align with our standard to prepare candidates for the official AJP examination.
Whether you are an aspiring judge or an experienced judge enhancing your credentials, these approved programs provide the essential technical knowledge and professional skills required for success. Based on student participation and success rates, these recognized organizations also offer structured scholarship opportunities.
