HI,
I am wondering if any  UK student here has taken on Trinity College of Music , and have found their  Exam centres few and far between?   
  Thanks.

In all honesty, unless you have your exam in a privately funded music department, that is a music college or purpose build music centre, the resources will always be at best adequate, at worst sub-par.

Most centres are churches who are drastically under funded and lacking due to the typical use.

If you are lucky enough to use a centre in a private school or conservatory, count your blessings.

Once you take enough exams, from a variety of boards, the details matter very little.  The general experience is the same: person sitting at a table writing comments on your performance.

In all honesty, don't worry, just do it and learn from the experience (as teacher or student).
