Please note: Recording of the live examination is not permitted under any circumstances 


The person who completed and managed the booking (or designated contact) will:

  • Ensure the device and exam space are set up correctly
  • Sign into the Zoom meeting fifteen minutes prior to the exam time*. The LAMDA steward will admit the learner into the Zoom meeting five minutes prior to the exam start time (i.e. Start of contingency time)
  • Ensure that the name displayed is the learner’s name, as can be found on ExamTrack
  • Ensure the learners and LAMDA examiner can see and hear one another clearly
  • Leave the room before the learner’s exam starts (unless pre-authorised by LAMDA to stay)
  • The learner will then be asked to confirm their name and the exam they are taking
  • Ensure that learners leave the room once their exam is over and the next learner is sent in (if applicable)
  • Be on hand all through the event to provide any technical help to the learner. If the exam has been stopped part-way through, the designated contact must leave the room once the issue has been resolved and before the exam recommences
  • Ensure the learner has all the equipment needed for their specific exam (for example, visual aids or books) 

The person who made and managed the booking must be available and immediately contactable by LAMDA for the full duration of the examination(s). 


Certain circumstances may require Learners to take their exam with a parent / guardian assuming the role of designated contact on the day. However, the person who made the booking must be contactable and available to LAMDA throughout the duration of the assessments, even if they are not physically with the Learner.  


The LAMDA steward will:

  • Invite the learner(s) into the meeting five minutes before the start of the exam
  • Conduct the technical checks (sound and video)
  • Introduce themselves to the learner and confirm the exam they will be doing
  • If the learner is aged 16 of over, complete a learner ID check
  • Once all checks are complete introduce the Learner(s) to the Examiner.   

At this point, the exam will begin, the Examiner takes over and the steward will turn off their camera and microphone.


The Examiner will:

  • Confirm the learner’s exam subject and grade with them
  • Confirm which pieces the learner is performing
  • Check that the learner has everything they need to take their exam
  • Check visibility within the space with the learner
  • Proceed to assess the learner  

Once the exam has ended, the Examiner will re-cap to the Learner what has been covered in the exam. If there is nothing further to add, the exam is complete and the Examiner will ask the Learner to leave the examination.
