LAMDA Exams is a recognised awarding organisation by Ofqual (the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulations in England), and the corresponding regulatory authorities in Wales (Qualification Wales) and Northern Ireland (Council for the Curriculum, Examinations & Assessment).

What this means is that all LAMDA regulated exams have been designed in such a way that a direct comparison can be made between LAMDA regulated exams and academic qualifications like GCSEs and A-levels. Learners taking these exams are tested on their knowledge, skills and understanding of the subject and will only be awarded a qualification if they show they have achieved the required level.

Our non-regulated exams are specific to LAMDA Exams.

Absolutely. We are committed to supporting the needs of our learners. You can apply for what is called a Reasonable Adjustment. These can include things like extra exam time or providing documents in a more accessible format for the learner. Applications must be submitted at least six weeks before the scheduled exam. You can read more about Reasonable Adjustments and how to apply for them.

You can submit an Enquiry About Results. If the mistake happened at our end, we won’t charge you to replace the certificate.

We will post your results within 30 working days of the exam event. If you still haven’t received your results by then, please contact LAMDA Exams in writing, confirming your postal address.

We want your learners to have their original results and certificates so we’ll ask you to wait until we’ve received them back in the post. While you’re waiting we can send you copies of your learners’ Examination Reports and their results.

If we don’t receive your certificates back within three weeks of the date we posted them to you or you’re keen to receive the certificates, we can issue certificates with the word ‘Duplicate’ printed on them.

Any openings we have for examiners will be advertised on our website.
