Enter candidates for Trinity’s drama exams

If you would like to prepare and enter candidates for Trinity’s drama exams, there are three options available to you:

1) Register with us as a private centre.

This is a good option if you would like to host exams at your venue or organisation and have enough candidates to meet our minimum fee (currently £579/€1500). You will have control of the timetable, date and running of your exam session. There is no charge to becoming a centre with us.

Step 1 - Read the eligibility criteria and venue requirements here to check that your organisation is eligible to provide Trinity assessments.

Step 2 - Complete the application form on our centre registration page (using our guidance and checklist where needed).

Step 3 - Our team will process your application. This normally takes up to 4 weeks and during this time you may be required to provide further information. Please note that pictures of the proposed exam room(s) are required to supplement applications. You will be asked to sign an agreement once your application is approved.

Step 4 - Once registered, you will receive a dedicated operational and academic contact, who will support you with delivering and entering for the exams.
