As one of the oldest Drama Schools in the world, LAMDA has been nurturing and training some of our finest actors and performers from stage and screen.
Running alongside the Drama School is LAMDA EXAMS an awarding organisation, offering world-renowned qualifications in communication and performance-based subjects. LAMDA qualifications aim to inspire the next generation of confident communicators through the exploration of drama, literature and public speaking.

Why take a LAMDA Exam?
LAMDA believes that the exam structure provides a richness to learning and supports a deeper understanding of the subject matter, meaning that learners are able to build up confidence in speech as well as fulfil a love of drama, literature and performance.
Other benefits include:
When children pass an exam, they recieve a certificate as confirmation and celebration of their achievement.
Learners who pass a Level 3 exam in Acting or Public Speaking receive a medal. Bronze (Grade 6), Silver (Grade 7) and Gold (Grade 8)
LAMDA is recognised in the skills section when completing any of the DofE awards.
Learners who pass a Level 3 Solo/Duo examination gain UCAS points, which can be used to help with applications and entry on to courses at UK Universities. For further information please see the LAMDA website.
Our Schools
How Why Don't You teach LAMDA
Our training takes place in schools and after school clubs. Children work in small groups and pairs having weekly lessons to build and develop their skills. Once a learner has completed their learning and preparation, and is ready to take their LAMDA Exam, we have the option of using our Private Centre within the school setting or go to one of LAMDA’s Public Centres.

I cannot thank you enough for the great work you do in your LAMDA classes and nor can I understate the benefits that our son has gained from attending the classes. Through his work with you at LAMDA, his reading aloud has greatly improved. Using the techniques he has learned he has slowed his reading pace and improved his annunciation and intonation. After years of trying to help him read aloud more slowly and with greater expression, now all it takes is a reminder to ‘use your LAMDA voice’. We have watched as he has gained confidence in public speaking, improved his ability to memorise things and increased his desire to try new activities.
I wasn’t sure how my daughter would manage these classes as she has some social communication difficulties, however she absolutely adores them!
They have been invaluable for her self-confidence. Thank you so much.
