Joanna – who has been a LAMDA examiner for five years running –  revealed that there is a big team of nearly 200 examiners at LAMDA and the list is rapidly growing.
Asked the relevance of LAMDA certificate, she says: “As students go through the LAMDA exams, they can build-up on their UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) points which enables them to get easier admission into UK universities.”
Speaking in the same vein, Mr Grant Maclean , a secondary school music teacher at Greensprings School, Lekki Campus, further explained that LAMDA improves a child’s communication and acting skills, thereby making the child more confident in his or her approach to life, as well as developing the ability to speak eloquently when engaging with people.” 
“In a nutshell, LAMDA is excellent at instilling the right foundation of learning to the child’s education”, he added.
