Please ensure all the relevant forms below and tasks have been completed at least 1 month before the examination session.
A - The Examination Timetable and Entry Form should be completed and emailed to the administrator ad.arbta@gmail.com at least 1 month prior to the examination date.
-
It is important that you consider your timetable schedule for the days events when scheduling the session.
-
The front page of your Examination Timetable and Entry Form should include clear travel instructions for the examiner and contact details.

Where possible, the examination session should begin with the lower grades and continue in order of level.
-
A day should be no longer than 9 hours including breaks. Please allow 5 minutes between each examination.
-
For Contemporary and Ballet Examinations, candidates should be entered in groups, of up to 3 persons, however we will accept groups of 4 where teachers have an additional candidate left, (except for Vocational examinations where the maximum is 3 candidates). For Contemporary and Ballet Class Assessments candidates should be entered in groups of up to 6 persons. For Jazz, Tap and Character Awards candidates should be entered in groups of up to 4 persons.
-

Vocational graded examinations are restricted to candidates 12 years and over.
-
Each day should be completed on a separate form. Please note, if you are struggling with any aspects of your timetable, please email ad.arbta@gmail.com.
B - All Candidate Registration and Filming Consent Forms should be emailed to the administrator at ad.arbta@gmail.com at least 1 month prior to the examination date. For GQAL/ARBTA Examinations, teachers should register all candidates on Exam track at this point. Teachers will receive the relevant log in information from ARBTA and GQAL to complete this. Once candidates are registered on Examtrack, they would not have to be registered again. This would mean the Candidate Registration and Filming Consent Forms would not have to be used. However, ARBTA advises to continue with this process to ensure all candidate details are up to date yearly.
C - The Examination Payment Form must be sent to the administrator together with the total balance of the exam fees at least 1 month prior to the exam date. The balance should be paid by bank transfer on the same day the form is submitted. A 5% surcharge will be applicable for late payments. If you are unsure whether you have made the right payment, please submit the payment form before payment to ad.arbta@gmail.com with a request to check the information. You will find the cost of all examinations and assessments on the Examination Payment Form.
