London College of Music Examinations
Accreditation
Diplomas in Music
LCM diplomas in music performance and in music teaching are accredited by
Ofqual,
DCELLS and
CCEA.
Additionally, LCM diplomas in music are mapped against the BMus and MMus Performance/Composition degree courses at University of West London, which are validated by the
Quality Assurance Agency (QAA).
Each diploma carries a nominal number of credits (typically 20 credits, representing one degree module, or one sixth of the total number of credits required to complete one year of the degree course).
BMus and MMus students who hold an LCM diploma are therefore automatically eligible to bypass the relevant module or modules on the degree course.

Other degree-awarding institutions may, on a discretionary basis, accept LCM diplomas as Approved Prior Learning (APL) on a similar basis.
