LAMDA exams

for institutions

The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) is one of the UK’s oldest, most prestigious drama schools and awarding bodies, and has been offering examinations for over 130 years. Their Exams might most easily be described as the drama equivalent of music grades. 


LAMDA’s alumni include: Benedict Cumberbatch; John Lithgow; Brian Cox; David Suchet; Patricia Hodge; Julie Hesmondhalgh; Jim Broadbent; Rory Kinnear; Chiwetel Ejiofor; and Mischief Theatre.

LAMDA exams are not solely for those thinking about entering the world of performance and are widely recognised for having empowered hundreds of thousands of young people across the globe.

Students reach higher levels of reading comprehension, as reading becomes not only seeing and understanding, but also being actively and physically involved.

LAMDA offers a number of Performance and Communication exams. Those The CreativeWise offer as part of our LAMDA tuition can be found below. Exams can be taken solo, as a duo, or in a group.

Introductory Exams

Learning new skills while having fun. This is a great starting point for learners to gain confidence and collaborate in a supportive environment to help each other grow as creative individuals.

Performance Exams

Acting

Learners delve into characterisation and develop strong speaking skills in one of LAMDA’s most popular exams. Working through the grades aids the development of clear speaking, character portrayal and a sensitive appreciation of subtext.


Musical Theatre

Learn how to tell a captivating story through song with vibrant characterisation and strong acting technique. Individuals flourish in a supportive environment as they explore acting and harmony or choral singing skills.

Shakespeare (Solo or Duo)

These exams encourage a deep immersion into Shakespeare’s words and the development of the technical skills required to perform them confidently and creatively.

Communication Exams

Speaking Verse and Prose

Students develop a whole host of skills, from speaking clearly and using voice projection, to improving memorisation and building an understanding of poetry and prose which supports studies in English literature.

Speaking in Public

Learners write their own speeches, researching the topics, creating visual aids and presenting them from memory. They will develop the ability to speak clearly and project their voice for an audience.
