Why Trinity Music Performance Diplomas?

Who are they for?

Trinity Diplomas are your first step into professional musicianship, taking candidates on their next steps beyond graded exams. Available for a wide range of instruments, they help take candidates on a structured pathway — from ATCL at RQF* Level 4, through to LTCL at Level 6 and FTCL at Level 7 — into a whole range of music careers. These include professional performance, teaching and into further study in the creative arts. Diplomas also give you professional recognition with letters after your name, making them a widely-recognised qualification.

There are no prerequisites for our ATCL, LTCL or FTCL Diplomas, so these exams can be taken whether or not you have completed any grade exams.
