AMEB Examinations

AMEB exams are designed to develop voice and communication skills for everyday life, school, and the professional world. 

At CIA, we see these exams as important milestones for students – a chance to set goals and extend their range of skills. After each exam, students receive a written report from their examiner and an official certificate to recognise the achievement. Exams are by far the best way to promote students’ growth and measure their improvement.

All CIA students work towards completing their CVCA (Certificate of Voice and Communication) in Year 10. This qualification is recognised Australia-wide and internationally, and can enhance students’ tertiary admission prospects.

Most exam preparation is covered in class time, however, all students are required to have a 1-hour private lesson prior to their exam date. This is to polish their program and ensure they are fully prepared to present. A second private lesson is optional for students doing Preliminary to Grade 8, and compulsory for those taking their CVCA exam. 

(Students enrolled in the Final Exam Intensive Course do not require any additional private lessons.)

Enrolment entails an exam fee (paid directly to the AMEB) and an additional fee of $88 per private lesson.
