Trinity Digital Exam Centre

Digital exams are an excellent way to develop your skills in music and drama and get a further qualification. We are very proud to be working as a private exam centre for Trinity Rock and Pop and Drama and Speech grades and qualifications.

A benefit of this digital format rather than traditional in person exams is there are no restrictions as to where you film your performance – at home, at your teacher’s studio, in a hall – wherever you have access to a quiet performing space and the appropriate instrument or performance props. And you can work with whoever you wish to in recording your video – family, friends, your teacher, or others. You may ask someone to help you with the recording, with playing your accompaniment or backing tracks, and with managing your exam space. You can even have a group of people behind the camera if you enjoy working in the presence of a live audience!

So many options and opportunities to help you realise your full creative potential.

We are proud to be able to offer and support those wanting to take drama, speech and communication grades in the following areas:

Communication - Research and prepare information for structured presentations and discussions, developing vocal skills and non-verbal communication.

Speech and Drama - Ideal for those who want to develop their performance skills by engaging with a variety of written forms including poetry, prose and play extracts with the freedom to choose pieces which they have a particular interest.

Do you have any questions or need more information about the qualifications or how digital exams work?

How do you film your digital grades submission?

The filming can be done on a camera, tablet, mobile phone... any digital device that will allow you to record your live performance in one take. A recommended maximum size for your video file is 1GB (2GB for diplomas)

Make sure your whole body and face are in view, as detailed in the filming guidance.

For Music, examiners need to see enough of your face to assess focus and personal investment for the Overall Performance section of the exam.

Choose a quiet room without disruptions or background noise.

Make sure you’re not standing in front of a light source which will turn you into a silhouette.

Your books/ legally downloaded copies must be in shot when you film your performance. Please make sure they will be visible to the examiner so that they can confirm that you are playing from a legal copy – even if you choose to perform from memory. In the case that you have purchased a digital copy and are playing from a tablet or eReader, please show the copy on screen to the camera, ensuring that the watermark is clearly legible, so the examiner can confirm the purchase.
