• For all other examinations examiners will write the Report and allocate the marks, this will then be moderated by the Chief Examiner and the marking confirmed. Results should be received within 3 weeks of the examination.

General Notes:

NEA have designed many of their examinations to provide scope for further study and support for AS and A2 examinations in Drama, Theatre Studies, Performing Arts, English Literature and Communication. Interview Technique provides excellent practice for learners applying to University, employment or any other pursuit for which an interview is required. Students taking Business related courses will find Public Speaking, Spoken English and Interview Technique examinations a beneficial supplement to their studies.

The examinations in Acting, Mime and Devised Drama for Groups are particularly useful and relevant as practice for AS and A2 examinations.
