The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) is the oldest drama school in the United Kingdom.
The Academy's Examination Department was established in the 1880s, since when it has become recognised as the foremost provider of examinations in performance skills in the world. LAMDA Examinations are accredited as an Awarding Body by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) in England, and the corresponding regulatory authorities in Wales (ACCAC) and Northern Ireland (CEA). The examinations now equate with other qualifications within the sector; for example, GCSEs and A Levels.
Celia Andrews runs her own Examination Centre where candidates can put into practise the theory and techniques of performance and presentation.
Available Examinations
The Speaking of Verse and Prose, Spoken English, Public Speaking, Reading for Performance, Acting, Mime, Devised Performance
What the children say about LAMDA Exams
"It is the nurturing of achievement that empowers the individual. Our challenge is to support that process across the globe." LAMDA

The same basic techniques, ideals and ideas apply to teaching adults as do children. However, Adults can have additional needs, including long-term lack of self-esteem, established incorrect breathing and vocal technique, and adult inhibitions. All of these require patience, understanding and support. Adults are taught on a one-to-one basis.

ABOUT CELIA
Having trained and worked as a secretary for five years, I retrained as a teacher of Drama, Dance and Singing at the Guildford School of Acting Conservatoire.
I gained LAMDA Licentiateships in Teaching and Acting and an Associateship of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance.
For over forty years I have taught, directed, coached, instructed and adjudicated people of all ages.
Every student of whatever age benefits from this type of learning in terms of self-confidence, poise and assertiveness, as well as acquiring the skills needed to communicate clearly and effectively.
Old-fashioned elocution has always been in demand, and is so now, as people recognise the value of good speech. Students also study movement, relaxation, deportment, acting, mime, improvisation, interview techniques, auditions, public speaking, presentations skills, etc. and are encouraged to take LAMDA exams where appropriate.
