Voted “Leading Performing Arts Exam Board” 2025
Bringing the UK's leading performing arts examinations board to students across Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru and beyond. Graded programmes, regulated qualifications, and a global community of artists.
I-PATH — the International Performing Arts & Theatre — is headquartered at 163 Herne Hill, London. The board offers Ofqual-regulated qualifications via its RSL Awards partnership alongside its own developed programmes, achievement awards, teacher training and competitions in dance, acting and singing.
I-PATH Malaysia is the regional partner that coordinates examiner visits, training and centre accreditation across Malaysia, Singapore and the wider South-East Asian region.
I-PATH offers graded examinations across dance and theatre, including Ofqual-regulated qualifications awarded by RSL Awards, as well as unregulated I-PATH developed programmes.
For students and schools opting not to participate in our graded exams, we provide the Achievement Awards system. This unique approach recognises and celebrates success, fostering a sense of accomplishment.
I-PATH offers a diverse range of teacher training courses catering to teachers worldwide, spanning from comprehensive two-year programmes to focused half-day CPD courses for dance, drama and singing teachers.
Each I-PATH programme is built around progressive grades, examined by visiting specialists, with certificates recognised internationally.
Classical technique, graded examinations
From Pre-Primary through Advanced, our ballet syllabus develops poise, musicality and technical precision. Students follow an internationally benchmarked grade structure with annual examinations leading to Ofqual-regulated qualifications via I-PATH's RSL Awards partnership.
Acting, musical theatre and stagecraft
An integrated programme covering acting technique, voice, movement and ensemble work. Learners build confidence on stage through monologue, scene study and devised performance, with optional pathways into musical theatre and screen acting.
Communication, presentation, advocacy
A spoken-word syllabus designed for the modern student. Develops articulation, argument structure, and the confidence to speak persuasively in interviews, debates and public forums — graded from beginner to diploma level.
