United Kingdom booking

All our public centres now have online booking for exams; for some centres you will receive your exam time within 24 hours and for others it’s three weeks before the exam.

Check on our map  on this page if you aren't sure what type of booking your local centre offers, this map will also link you to the correct booking site. See further information about the booking types below.

If you wish to book an organ exam, duet or group exam or teaching diploma then please contact your Local Area Representative.

All centres have a Representative who can support you with any questions. Contact details are given on the map and you should direct any questions you have to them in the first instance.

New UK music online booking platform from Summer 2025

If you have been used to booking by sending a paper form to your Local Area Representative your will now book and pay online for your exams, you should expect an appointment date and time to be confirmed around three weeks in advance of the exam date. This is also the case for all bookings for Rock & Pop exams.

Find out more about how our new booking exam page works on our Support page.

Existing online booking customers

If you are looking to make a booking at one of the centres listed at the bottom of the page, this can be done at https://musicbooking.trinitycollege.co.uk.

If you are used to booking online and getting your exam time within 24 hours please note the points below.

Please be sure that all exam details are correct and that candidates and accompanists can be available at any time on your chosen day to attend the exam at the venue you have selected.  You will be allocated the next available time slot on this day, which is likely to be between 9am and 5pm but could be after this time. Exam times and other exam details cannot be changed after your booking has been made or at the point of receiving your appointment details.

Please note, if you cancel an exam within the 14 day cooling off period, including cancelling in order to book at different date, venue, instrument or grade, in accordance with applicable consumer laws, we will retain a sum of £15 from the entry fee to reflect the work undertaken by us up to the point of cancellation.
