New School term commences on the 21st of September. Come along and register at a centre near you to gain recognised qualifications.
The RSPBANI Branch School offer access to the Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) recognised qualifications in Bagpipes and Snare Drumming. The qualifications in Bass/Tenor Drumming and Drum Majoring are currently recognised by the Piping and Drumming Qualifications Board (PDQB).
The Piping and Snare Drum qualifications are available at different levels which reference directly their place in the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF). Qualifications at Level 2 – 8 are available in Bagpipes and Level 3-6 are available for Snare Drumming. Qualifications gained under SCQF can be referenced to the Qualifications most commonly studied for in Northern Ireland.
The attached table outlines the local equivalent qualifications. These qualifications are nationally recognised and can be added to the Student’s CV or Record of Achievement.
We have five Centres which are located in Banbridge, Cookstown, Enniskillen, Derry/Londonderry and Broughshane.
