ABRSM Exam Qualifications

Ofqual

All ABRSM exams (theory, practical and performance) attract qualifications recognised and regulated by Ofqual (England’s Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation). This page provides for a general overview ABRSM exam accreditation.

Regulated qualifications framework (RQF)

Within England, Wales and Northern Ireland, all ABRSM exams sit within the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) – intended to describe qualifications that Ofqual regulates, as well as showing how they relate to each other and providing consistency in how the size, challenge or demand of a qualification is described.

UCAS points

Students with ABRSM qualifications at Grades 6, 7 and 8 benefit from UCAS (University and Colleges Admission Service) points, which can be used as part of a university or college application in the UK.

All ABRSM exams are accredited by Ofqual and RQF. Grades 6 and above attract UCAS points. ABRSM exams motivate achievement and support progression. They lay good foundations for music-making, whilst encouraging students to reach their full potential.
