I'm wanting to take grades in both classical & Jazz and I have a couple of questions
1) Is it best to use an exam board witch has grades 1-8 in both Jazz & Classical
2) should I start Classical before Jazz
3) which board is best ABRSM, LCM, Trinity

You've posted on an ABRSM website forum, so ABRSM would seem the obvious board to recommend.
As to what to do first, it depends on what level you are at really. There is no harm in doing them both together, but Grade 1 classical is not the same standard as grade 1 jazz.
ABRSM only go up to grade 5 jazz at the moment, but if you are new to the subject then that is plenty to be going on with.
