Is LAMDA Equivalent to a GCSE?
LAMDA exams, regulated by Ofqual, have Levels that indicate their difficulty, similar to GCSEs. However, while LAMDA Grade 5 is a Level 2 qualification like a GCSE, it typically involves less study time—about 60 hours compared to 120 for a GCSE in Drama. But, beyond academics, LAMDA exams foster essential life skills like communication, confidence, and teamwork, making them an excellent complement to traditional qualifications.
What Do LAMDA Exams Do?
LAMDA exams empower students to develop essential life skills through drama and literature. With benefits like improved reading fluency, enhanced memory, and globally recognized qualifications, LAMDA exams are an investment in your child's future success. Discover how LAMDA can help your child build a brighter, more confident future while earning qualifications that stand out on any resume or university application.

If you’ve taken a LAMDA Exam before and know what Grade you’re working towards then we recommend the following:
30 mins (Grades 1 - 3)
45 mins (Grades 4 - 8)
60 mins (Grades 6 - 8)
If you’ve never taken a LAMDA Exam before then, as a rough guideline, we recommend starting with:
Under 11’s => 30 mins
11+ => 45 mins
But, don’t worry! You can always adjust once lessons begin!
