Content is modern, relevant, and learner-friendly — ideal for today's students and education providers.
RSL Awards qualifications carry global credibility, adding value to your institution's offerings — especially for families seeking progression-based programs or those targeting international education pathways.
The Debut to Grade 8 progression model allows students to grow at their own pace, with each level offering clear technical and expressive goals. This structure supports long-term retention and measurable achievement.
RSL’s repertoire integrates well with most existing enrichment programs. Whether in music, dance, or drama, the content allows for seamless adaptation without overhauling current curricula.
Three examination formats are available:
In-person (face-to-face)
Live-stream (real-time via video)
Recorded video submission
Multiple exam cycles each year allow institutions to plan around school terms, holiday camps, or regular group classes.
Grades 6–8 are eligible for UCAS tariff points (UK university applications). Certificates and assessment reports also enhance students’ portfolios for entry into international schools or arts-based higher education.
