Ofqual‑Regulated. 

Nationally Recognised. 

UCAS Tariff Points.

MN Awards is an Ofqual‑regulated awarding organisation. All MN Awards qualifications are regulated by Ofqual, giving schools, teachers and learners confidence that our assessments meet nationally set standards. At Level 3 (Grades 6-8), our grades attract UCAS Tariff points, so achievement can directly support university applications.

No hype - just independent regulation, national recognition, and real progression value.

Delivering film related subjects across the UK for over a decade ...

Exams for the 21st century.

At the very least, all you need to start teaching is a modern mobile device. Rest assured, MN learners are assessed on their acting skill, not your ability as a filmmaker. As long as our examiners can clearly hear & see what students are saying & doing, the aesthetics of your camera work will not affect our grading process. Filming is no more complicated than shooting an actor's self-tape. No editing or uploading is required, our website will take care of everything for you.

IT'S OUR JOB TO MAKE YOUR JOB EASY. NO EDITING, NO UPLOADING REQUIRED!
