FAQ: Exam venues

Exam venues

Do I need to book my exam venue when I enrol?

No, we will write to you 10 weeks before your exam asking you to select your exam venue.

Where can I take my exam?

Students are automatically registered to sit the exam in London. If this is where you intend to sit your exam, no further communication with us is necessary.

We have exam venues in Edinburgh, Dublin, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Lusaka, Qatar and South Africa which you can book when we write to you 10 weeks before your exam.

If you cannot take your exam at one of the above venues and you live outside of the UK mainland, you can request to take your exams at a venue local to you. It is your responsibility to contact a suitable venue. The first point of contact is the British Council, although Universities and Colleges of Higher Education are also acceptable venues. Further details will be available to you when you enrol as a student.

Do I need to pay a fee for the exam venue?

For students sitting exams at venues other than London and Edinburgh, an administration fee will be payable directly to your chosen local examination venue.
