Trinity College London (TCL) Autumn 2020 exams have been cancelled up to November, though theory exams will be taking place on 9 November.  The online booking remains closed for all but Rock&Pop exams in Watford and Aylesbury in December.

Following huge demand for the Digital Assessments, Trinity is developing new Digital offering which it hopes will become live later this year.  Please see the message opposite that was released on 24 September:

Trinity College London has announced the launch of a new Digital Grades and Diploma platform that will allow students to take their music and drama exams remotely from November 2020.
 
From November, the Digital Grades and Diploma exams platform will allow candidates to submit video recordings of their work. Candidates will be required to upload their work as one continuous video performance, which will be assessed by one of Trinity’s Examiners.
 
In Music Graded Exams, candidates will be required to upload a performance of their pieces and technical work; the assessment of the supporting tests will not be part of the submission. Instead, examiners will be applying an additional set of performance criteria that assesses the key musical skills underpinning the supporting tests requirements within the context of the whole recital. In Music Performance Diplomas, the exam requirements are unchanged.
