NSW Debating Accreditation
Become a trusted adjudicator and create more memorable learning experiences for students
Adjudicator accreditation has been discussed for some time and is now a reality thanks to the cooperation of six major debating competitions: Archdale, FED, GPS, ISDA, LND and SDN.
Additional competitions are welcome to become involved as we experiment with this initiative and test its efficacy in improving quality standards and stakeholder satisfaction across the schools debating community.
Adjudicators wanting to serve in the above competitions in 2024 are required to successfully complete this short course, which is being made freely available on a trial basis.
If you are an individual who is not working with, or looking for work with, one of our listed associations/competitions, please note that your course will not be considered for accreditation without prior approval from NSWDA.
Beyond being able to adjudicate in the above competitions, active and aspiring adjudicators who join our learning community will benefit in various ways:
Watch the actual note-taking of experienced adjudicators while watching real debates and learn from their oral adjudications.
Download free resources prepared by experts including our first Adjudicator Manual, which you’ll receive at the end of this course.
Improve your professional practice as an adjudicator, measured by fewer complaints and/or more gratitude from students and parents.
