Guidance for teachers on entering students for RAD exams
For a teacher to enter candidates for RAD exams they must:
- be a current teacher registered with the RAD
- have registered the school and the candidates they wish to enter.
The following guidance should also be read – The role of the registered teacher in examinations.
Entry forms can be submitted by another individual (e.g. the school principal), but there must be an RAD Registered Teacher listed on the entry form who is employed or contracted by the school.
In the UK, AEC examinations are organised by Regional Managers and RAV Examinations by the RAV Examinations Officer.
Internationally, exams are organised by national offices.
New teachers
If you are a new teacher, or are new to a particular area, we recommend that you contact your local office to introduce yourself and to ensure that you are added to their mailing list.

For examinations taking place in a studio provided by the RAD (RAD Approved Venue or RAV), fill in the RAV entry form.
Please note, there are different versions of the entry forms, depending on the version of software being used. Additionally, our entry forms will not work on a tablet device – you will need a computer to complete them.
Send the correct exam fee to your local office. The office will get in touch to confirm your exam date and time.
