Testimonials
“DTO is just what the dance industry needs – providing industry based education and up-skilling which will allow our industry to grow.”
Brendan Daynes
Swinburne Senior Secondary College
“DTO are incredibly generous. Whenever you have a question, are looking for some extra guidance or need an additional resource that cannot be found in the extensive shared folder where every booklet, assessment booklet and administrative resources are stored, you are promptly met with assistance. The facebook trainer group is a safe space where other general questions are answered by the whole team. It’s an amazing community.“

“Great connectivity to trainers.”
Lisa Woolley
The Dance Studio Academy of Performing Arts
“Our college transitioned to Dance Training Organisation in 2023 and we couldn’t be happier. The team at DTO are readily available to answer questions, guide teachers in a school context and work to consistently improve their resources. As a new teacher to VET, it was very reassuring to be working with an RTO that understands the needs of our students and the factors that may impact VET in schools. Thank you DTO!”
