LAMDA Examinations
What is LAMDA?
The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) is the oldest drama school in the United Kingdom. LAMDA began offering speech examinations to the public in the 1880s. Since then, these examinations have been refined and developed into a comprehensive system of performance evaluation by experts in education, acting and communication.
LAMDA exams are all about achievement – recognising and rewarding the endeavours of each individual – but they are also about empowerment. Their ultimate aim is to provide all people with the opportunity to develop the life skills they need to be a success: attributes such as self-confidence and the ability to communicate clearly and present ideas.
In addition to being the largest Speech and Drama Awarding Body in the United Kingdom, LAMDA Examinations have a reputation for excellence across Europe, the Far East, Africa and the United States.
LAMDA Examinations are accredited as an Awarding Body by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) in England, and the corresponding regulatory authorities in Wales (ACCAC) and Northern Ireland (CEA).
