Your teacher may arrange for you to take an exam, but you can also book one yourself.
You can take an exam at any one of our LAMDA Centres. We have centres all over the world which anyone can book to take their exam in. There are 32 in the UK alone!
They are in: Bath, Belfast, Birmingham, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Bristol, Burley. Cambridge, Cheltenham, Colchester, Coleraine, Edinburgh, Haywards Heath, Kent (Ashford), Leamington Spa, Leeds, Leicester, Leigh-on-Sea, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Northampton, Nottingham, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Ryde, Sheffield, Stoke on Trent, Stokesley, Swansea and Swindon.
Once you have chosen the centre that is most convenient to you, it’s time to fill out the form to apply for a spot at one of our exam events. Exam events last more than one day and are usually held over the weekend, so make sure to keep those dates free!
Read the form and all the guidance notes carefully before you start filling up the form, and get it to us as soon as you can.
Once we have received your form and entry fee we will start processing your application.
We will then send you (or, if someone else is registering you for your exam, we’ll send it to them) a Learner Examination Report. It will include the time, date and location of your exam, as well as the exact exam you are taking. As soon as you receive this, double check all the information so you’re sure it’s correct!
Make sure to check your name too. The way your name is printed on the Leaner Examination Report is exactly how it will be printed on your certificate. If something is wrong, let us know in writing immediately so that we can fix it.
You are now all booked in.
Now you can finish up your exam preparation.

Yes! LAMDA Level 3 (Grades 6 to 8) regulated qualifications carry UCAS points. Find out more here.
What you need to bring will depend on which exam you are taking. Check the syllabus carefully to see what you need. Sometimes you will be asked to bring a specific prop, like your favourite toy, and other times you might need something like a sound system so you can have a backing track for your performance.
No matter what exam you are taking, you will need to bring your Learner Examination Report with you, legible copies of the pieces you are performing and plenty of passion!
And if you’re 16 or over, don’t forget to bring ID with you.
If you will be 16 or older on the day you take your exam, your Learner Examination Report will have the following line printed on it: This learner is required to present acceptable identification prior to commencement of their examination. Please bring one of the following, to identify yourself when you register your arrival at the centre:
- A current passport
- A current driving license
- HM Forces Services ID
- Travel Pass (Railcard or Zip Oyster)
- PASS card
- Biometric residence card
- NUS card
You must bring your ID with you to the centre. We will not examine you without seeing it. We cannot accept photocopies, photos, or check your ID after the exam so it’s essential that you don’t forget it.
