Frequently Asked Quesions:
About LAMDA Exams
-
LAMDA is the UK’s largest Ofqual regulated speech and drama awarding body. LAMDA Examinations have a reputation for excellence across the globe, and are recognised by all further education establishments. All "Level 3" qualifications (Grades 6 - 8) earn learners UCAS points for their university applications. And, more importantly, preparing for and taking the exams provides students with incredibly valuable experience as performers and communicators.
-
LAMDA divides its exams into two main categories: "Performance" and "Communication". Acting is a "Performance" exam. Speaking Verse & Prose and Speaking in Public are both "Communication" exams. All three exams have an element of performing/communicating and a theory ("Knowledge") element. The communication exams are focused on translating the meaning and mood of a text, honouring the author's intentions; the Acting exam is focused on representing what a character is thinking and feeling. All the exams develop vocal and physical skills and build confidence.
-
LAMDA Exams divides their assessments into nine grades (Entry Level to Grade 8). Any student can start at any grade depending on their experience and skill level. Generally speaking, the exams are age-appropriate; younger learners begin with entry Entry Level and students in the mid/late-teens taking higher grades. Each grade has a different assessment criteria, theory work (or "knowledge") and pieces to be prepared. Learners are awarded either a "pass", "merit" or "distinction" for each grade that they take.
-
Grades 6 - 8 earn learners UCAS points which can be useful when applying for university. A "pass" at Grade 6 will earn learners 8 UCAS points, whereas a "distinction" at Grade 8 will earn learners 30 UCAS points. Not all universities accept UCAS points but all will recognise the dedication, diligence and skills required to achieve a LAMDA "Level 3" qualification. You can read more about UCAS points on the LAMDA website: https://www.lamda.ac.uk/lamda-exams/learners/ucas

If the learner has taken a LAMDA exam before we will continue onto the following grade. If the learner is new to the LAMDA Exams then we'll make an assessment in your "taster" lesson and recommend an appropriate grade to start working towards.
About LAMDA Lessons
-
Between 30 - 60 mins - but, it depends on each student! Some students prefer to have longer sessions and some prefer to have shorter ones. Generally speaking we think that 30 min lessons are appropriate for Grades 1 - 3; 45 min lessons are appropriate for Grades 4 - 5; 60 min lessons are appropriate for Grades 6 - 8.
-
This varies student to student - students with lots of extracurricular activities might find that they need to prepare over a longer period of time than a student who’s able to dedicate more time to rehearsing/homework each week. We anticipate Learners working on Grades 1 - 3 will need 1/2 Terms (12-24 lessons) and Learners working on Grades 4 - 8 will need 2/3 Terms (24-36 lessons).
-
We are occasionally able to offer in person sessions - reach out to Calum to find out more.
-
Each week we send out email reminders about your next Weekly LAMDA Lesson – in that email you’ll find all the links you need to rearrange your session based on your tutors availability. We give you 72 hours (3 days) from that reminder to let us know if you need to cancel or rearrange your lessons. After that time the lesson will be charged for even if you’re unable to attend. Of course, if you’re ill or there’s an emergency we’ll do our best to help!
-
You commit to a Term of Lessons that can be paid for Termly or Weekly, depending on what's best for you!
