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!

Industry Led Us Here.

MN combines an Ofqual-regulated awarding body with an industry recognised acting agency.

Our strong connections to the film, television, and theatre industries uniquely position MN as both an Ofqual-regulated awarding body and a genuinely industry-facing organisation. Our acting agency, Middleweek Newton (MN) Talent Management, represents and manages professional actors across film, television and theatre.

Our exams are designed around practical skills drawn from genuine industry experience.

WE'LL PLANT A TREE FOR EVERY EXAM YOU PURCHASE

Creative Exams that don't cost the Earth.

If we're being honest, we didn’t set out to build an environmentally friendly, Ofqual-recognised awarding body during the initial stages of design. The idea for MN Awards was conceived in 2015, its development & subsequent awarding body application began three years later in 2018. It was during this period an increased awareness regarding climate change took place. We recognised that screen-related awards require examination on screen, & aid our ability to remain fair & consistent, as well as make sense of the filmmaking/screen acting process. This has resulted in carbon-neutral exams!

We want to be a part of the inevitable change that is coming & help build a sustainable legacy not just for our children, but because it's the right thing to do. We'd like to make a difference, however small & are proud to have helped create these exams with that ethos in mind. Due to the nature of screen acting being on-screen, MN examiners do not need to travel, our staff can do their jobs working from home & our office is paperless! As we build a library of exams, we will continue this promise.

We like to think we’re doing things differently & that it is possible to offer something fresh and innovative, to create a happy work-life balance for our staff & be a force for change. You can help by choosing us.
