What is the Trinity College of London?

Why take lessons in a lesson program focused on Trinity College exams?

Trinity College London examinations provide a worldwide, uniform standard of assessment in Music. As such, they are an extraordinarily useful tool for student placement in academic programs, an internationally recognized certification of proficiency when a person is considered for a teaching or other professional position, and an assurance to students and parents that a teacher has achieved a level of professional competence in his or her subject.

Trinity College London is an awarding organization in the United Kingdom which is recognized by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) in England, the CCEA Regulation (Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment) in Northern Ireland and by Qualification Wales. Its regulated qualifications are regulated by these authorities through the Regulated Qualifications Framework.

Can I earn college credit through Trinity College exams?

Trinity candidates may apply to an approved international credential agency in the USA to have their certificates and diplomas assessed to receive credit equivalence towards college. The applicant will receive a letter of determination from this agency certifying the academic equivalent to their Trinity credentials at an accredited American institution. This letter substantially enhances the value of Trinity certificates as a credential when applying to a school, and as a basis for requesting credit or advanced standing. Those students who are applying to colleges now are having from 2 to all 10 of the credits accepted.
