T: +61 8 8313 8088
Mon - Fri: 9am - 1pm |
The below office hours will resume after SA's 'circuit breaker' COVID-19 lockdown 18-24 November. Mon: 9am - 1pm, 2pm - 5pm |
|
Please note, from 18-24 November, the AMEB SA & NT office will be closed. Staff are working remotely and are contactable via email or phone (see above).
Certificates
Due to a backlog of certificates for online practical and theory exams from March to June and the current closure, certificates for practical music sessions will be delayed. A letter of attainment can be provided as proof of qualification where a certificate is not yet available.
If you have received a notification advising that a certificate is ready to collect, this can be done after the 18 - 24 November COVID-19 lockdown.
Cancellations and Transfers
Sessions due to run 18 - 24 November have been cancelled. For those that were due to be examined in this timeframe, we can offer the following alternatives:
- Free transfer to a new Online Exams Session (which is 'entry by transfer' only - more information below). Submissions are due 2 December.
- Free transfer (and exam change - if required and appropriate) to the Recorded Repertoire Session (submissions are due 10 December)
- Free transfer to another in-person session (this may be arranged 1-15 December, but space is limited, and we cannot guarantee this outcome. Transfer to 2021 can also be requested for all exams except CPM).
- Free transfer and upgrade to a 2021 in-person session (if the difference is paid).
- Free transfer to an Online Exam Session in 2021 (this session will run early in the examining year for a limited time).
Private Venues that wish to reschedule a whole session of exams affected by the lockdown to another date must submit their request in writing, outlining their preferred dates and times from 25 November to 15 December. These sessions may be rescheduled subject to examiner availability and additional flexibility in date and time requests will facilitate this process.
Are there transfer options available for candidates scheduled to be examined from 25 November? At this stage, we are planning to continue with sessions from 25 November, and free transfers will only be available to candidates who are sick, injured, in COVID-19 quarantine (or recommended to self-isolate by a GP or specialist) at the time of the candidate's exam.
Awards Ceremony & Showcase Concert
The 2020 Awards Ceremony & Showcase Concert has been cancelled. A smaller ceremony will take place in March 2021 for successful Diploma candidates and, subject to maximum gathering sizes, prizes may also be awarded at this ceremony.
SESSION UPDATE
Please note:
- The below dates are subject to change. The University of Adelaide will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and AMEB SA & NT will respond appropriately in order to ensure that candidates, their families, examiners and supervisors can safely participate in sessions.
- For in-person, practical music sessions at the Central Venue (The University of Adelaide), capacity is limited. Exams will take place on weekdays and Saturdays. Account Holder scheduling requests must allow flexibility for scheduling and should not limit options to Saturdays or one or two particular dates. If capacity is reached in a particular session at the Central Venue, AMEB SA & NT will prioritise the scheduling of candidates who require accompaniment, and then level 2 piano candidates. Although every effort will be made to accommodate as many candidates as possible, if necessary, office staff will contact Account Holders advising the options available to candidates who cannot be accommodated.
- We encourage all Level 1 candidates to consider Online Exam alternatives, particularly those who do not require an accompanist.
- If there is a COVID-19 case on-campus affecting the Hartley or Schulz buildings, these sessions may be rescheduled at very short notice.
- Where there is a late enrolment closing date, a $25 fee per candidate will be applied (no exceptions accepted).
- Adelaide Metro Central Venue Sessions are open to specific Level 1 and 2 practical music subject groupings, stated in the table below for each session. Subject groupings are:
- Piano, which includes Piano, Piano for Leisure, CPM Keyboard, Keyboard Inductions & P Plate Piano
- Brass, which includes Horn, Trumpet, Trombone, Bass, Trombone, Tuba, Euphonium & Band
- Voice, which includes Singing, Singing for Leisure, Musical Theatre & CPM Voice
- Orchestral Strings, which includes Violin, Viola, Cello & Double Bass
- Woodwind, which includes Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, Saxophone, Saxophone for Leisure, Bassoon

* Private Venue Pre-approval Process
To ensure that all exams take place in a COVID-safe manner, any private venue sessions will need to be pre-approved. AMEB SA & NT staff will assess applications to determine whether exams can be conducted whilst adhering to government social distancing requirements and recommendations from SA Health.
To apply to host exams at your venue, please:
1. Register as an Account Holder in SCORE (instructions) if not already registered.
2. Create the venue in SCORE (instructions)
3. Prior to the closing date of the relevant session, download and fill in the Private Venue Pre-approval Application form, if hosting for the first time during COVID-19.
4. Once signed, email the form to ameb@adelaide.edu.au and await approval from AMEB SA & NT before enrolling candidates. This generally takes up to 2 business days. Once approval has been received, the venue code for your venue (available once the venue is created) can be shared with any other Account Holders with candidates joining the session.
5. For any subsequent hosting during COVID-19 - if you wish to host more than one session and there is no change of supervisor or venue details, the application process does not need to be undertaken again. However, AMEB SA & NT will need to be advised and the total examining time must be a minimum of 2hrs. If over 3.5hrs, the session may be split to ensure waiting areas do not become over-crowded.
AMEB SA & NT will consider sessions with mixed, practical music AMEB subjects, should a suitable, non-specialist examiner be available.
If you would like others to join your venue, you can post to our Facebook group 'AMEB SA & NT Venue Connect', a private facebook group of teachers and parents interested in sharing or joining venues for exams.
