Finding An Exam Centre Near You
Cambridge Online School & College International does not provide a physical exam centre, as it would be inconvenient for international students to access it. We do, however, provide information about how to find an exam centre that is closer to your location. Please note that our online school fees do not include exam fees, as this is disclosed by your chosen exam centre.
​
Examination centres are arranged through the relevant exam board or awarding authority, and we do not have control over the information provided by them or over centre availability. We therefore strongly encourage parents to contact potential centres as early as possible to check that their child can be accommodated and that the required subjects are offered. If a centre is not confirmed in good time and it later becomes clear that local centres are unable to accept the student or do not offer their subjects, unfortunately this is outside of our control. We are able to enter students for online Edexcel examinations in the subjects available, but arrangements with examination centres must be made directly by parents

Make sure the centre you choose accepts private candidates!

How do I know what exam board to choose?
Choosing an exam board will be based on a number of factors, including what centres are local to you, what subjects you are taking exams for, and which curriculum you would prefer to study. For international GCSE and A-level subjects, students are able to choose from either the Edexcel or Cambridge exam boards, depending on which meets their needs better. If you have any questions about which exam board to study towards, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
