Becoming a Trinity Exam Centre :

Why choose Trinity College London?

Trinity College London has been a globally trusted exam board for over 150 years, supporting and inspiring performers worldwide. If you're interested in hosting Trinity exams, your organisation or teaching practice can apply to become a Registered Exam Centre (REC).

You’ll set your own schedule, choose face-to-face, fully digital formats, or a combination of both, and offer candidates prestigious, internationally recognised qualifications in Classical & Jazz and Rock & Pop, backed by Trinity’s innovative, learner-centred support.
