The MN Exam Portal
Dedicated to Quality and Reliability
The MN Portal is your all-in-one hub for MN Awards teachers, schools and businesses - book and manage exams online, access syllabi and resources, submit and track learner work, manage and invite staff to your account, grab marketing packs, register students, keep up with CPD and much more - everything in one secure place (one hub, zero faff). Minimising cost and time.
Exam Delivery
We offer two types of qualifications: Performance and Production. Performance subjects, like Screen Acting, focus on being in front of the camera, while Production subjects, like Filmmaking, teach the creative and technical skills that happen behind it.
Each offers flexible delivery options tailored to suit your setting and schedule.
