WHAT IS LAMDA?
LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) is a Speech and Communications Board overseen by OFQUAL that offers exams resulting in qualifications in both Speech and Drama that are recognized around the world.

WHAT CAN MY CHILD DO?
The choices seem endless where LAMDA exams are involved. Students can try their hand at Public Speaking, Mime, Acting, Verse and Prose, Musical Theatre, Reading for Performance and many more communications based exams. It is very important that the learner has an idea of which qualification they would like to attain, and in which discipline. Details of this can be found via this link
