Trinity’s Trombone & Bass Trombone certificate exams offer an alternative to graded exams.
Our music certificate exams are delivered as face-to-face exams only, open to all candidates, with no age restrictions or other limitations. There is no requirement to have passed lower levels, theory exams or other qualifications.
Choose from three levels of assessment representing key stages of musical development.
Certificate level | Equivalent grade level |
Foundation | Grade 3 |
Intermediate | Grade 5 |
Advanced | Grade 8 |
For full details (including what you can play, and how long your recital should be), please see the syllabus and repertoire lists. Certificate repertoire lists are available for Intermediate amd Advanced levels.

Exam report forms are released typically within 1-2 weeks, enabling candidates to benefit from the detailed feedback whilst the exam experience is still recent. Certificates usually follow 4 weeks later. Occasionally, we may not be able to release the exam result straight away. Further details about this can be found on our music syllabus Infringements page. For any other questions, please see our music exam help pages.
