LAMDA offers open access to all examinations, irrespective of ethnicity, class, nationality, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, creed or marital status.
Entry forms provide space for teachers and/or candidates to list any special circumstances or needs which the candidate wishes to be brought to the examiner’s attention in advance. The candidate will still be examined against standard criteria but examination procedure or the environment may be adjusted to accommodate the specified circumstances. This means that all reasonable adjustments are made to ensure that a disabled candidate is not placed at a substantial disadvantage in comparison with a person who is not disabled.
LAMDA is able to provide a list of public centres which have wheelchair access on request.
Entries from candidates who are visually impaired must be accompanied by a covering letter requesting Braille text for examinations that require sight-reading.
Entries from dyslexic candidates who require special access to sight reading, as detailed in the specifications, must be accompanied by written evidence from a fully qualified and chartered educational psychologist or specialist teacher. For more details please consult the Customer Service Statement.
