Our admission procedure

This is how you proceed if you would like to study with us:

1. Contact us: Write us an e-mail or give us a call. We will discuss your previous education and professional experience in order to clarify the possible need for an equivalence test and the possibility of recognising prior learning.

2. Preparation of the admission dossier: On request, we will provide you with all the necessary forms. The dossier contains as PDF:

• your CV (curriculum vitae)
• a letter of motivation explaining why you would like to become a dance therapist
• a provisional financing plan
• the completed form «Admission proof» (available from us)
• your certificates and diplomas, numbered according to the form «Admission proof»
• the form «Registration for the entrance examination» (available from us)

3. Registration for the entrance examination: Send us your complete admission dossier by e-mail to admin@zoeschool.ch, at least 3 days before the entrance examination day. After reviewing your dossier, we will invite you to the entrance examination.

4. Entrance examination:

1. Entrance examination day (online): You go through a dance therapy process. Through body awareness, movement learning with elements of the Laban/Bartenieff Movement System, movement composition and the inner images that arise while dancing, we get to know you and your movement: how you grasp movement, how you experience your own movement and how you shape it. Finally, we are interested in how you perceive the dance of other people. The day takes place online: no travel, in your familiar surroundings.
2. Online questionnaires: After the entrance examination day, you will receive access to two online questionnaires, which you complete at home. You have 5 days to do so.
3. Talk with the school management: We arrange the date individually with you.

5. Notification of results: We will inform you by e-mail whether you have passed the entrance examination.

6. Training contract: Once you have passed the examination, you will receive the training contract. Once you have returned the signed contract, your place in the training programme is secured.
