A Public Centre is an in-person or online venue where LAMDA organises and hosts its own exam events. Public Events are open to all learners, regardless of their school, organisation or teacher. With over 30 in-person centres nationwide plus online opportunities, this route is particularly suited to individuals, learners from smaller cohorts or organisations without a dedicated venue.  

A Private Centre is a school, company or independent entity that is registered with LAMDA as an exam centre, with a view to organise their own exam events. These are best suited for teachers or organisations with a high number of learners and their own venue. Becoming a Private Centre offers more freedom to choose when and where their learners are assessed by examiners at your own venue.
