A new set of performance-focused guitar grade exams has been launched by Orange Learn

The examinations, ranging from Debut to Grade 8, are recognised on both the National and European Qualifications Framework, with Grades 6-8 offering UCAS points.

Each exam requires students to perform a minimum of one piece from the Orange Learn Rock Guitar graded book, with remaining pieces freely chosen to match grade-level requirements. Students can use electric, acoustic, or classical guitar for Debut to Grade 2, with electric guitar becoming the specialist instrument from Grade 3 onwards. 

Orange Learn's online examination format allows students to take their exams at any time and from any location, with results available within one to five working days.
