Graded Music Exams > Exam Entry
Prior to entering for an exam you may wish to find out about graded music exam options , exam periods and fees and and centres in your area for UK/Ireland Face-to-face exams. When clicking on a centre profile via the centre map, you will see the upcoming dates planned at the centre.
Purchasing a Graded Music exam is done in two steps: 1. Purchase / payment 2. Completing exam details (please note this is not applicable to Music Theory or Music Production exams).
For face-to-face exams, after these two steps are completed and the closing date has passed, the exam will be scheduled. For recorded digital exams, without any closing date, the video can be uploaded right away after the exam details have been completed. For live stream exams, we will be in touch regarding the exam date.
