Why take the LAMDA Exam?

The exams have been helping learners all over the world develop into confident speakers since the 1880s. As qualifications have moved on over the years, LAMDA’s principal aims remain the same: to provide all people with the chance to develop self-expression, self-assurance and have fun.

We know that speech, drama, and communication can help to develop key skills in learners and that each student should have the chance to access these subjects to enhance what they learn through the school curriculum. Taking lessons in LAMDA subjects is not just enjoyable but provides students the opportunity to develop lifelong and transferable skills to enhance their learning and future in a competitive world.

LAMDA exams offer the learner UCAS points at Grade 6 to 8 which can help the learner gain a place at university. For more information on how UCAS points work CLICK HERE (a new tab will open).
