Cambridge ESOL exam centres

You can take Cambridge ESOL exams at authorised centres all over the world. There are over 2000 centres in 130 countries. They must meet high standards of professional integrity, security and customer service, and are subject to inspection by Cambridge ESOL. Entries are made directly to the centre, and not to Cambridge ESOL.

Thousands of schools, universities and colleges offer courses to help you to prepare for the exams and these are available on various dates throughout the year. Again please contact your nearest centre for more information.

Find a Centre


When you have found a centre, they will be able to give you more detailed administrative information about your chosen exam, such as dates and costs. They will also be able to help you if there are any Special Circumstances, for example if you have a disability.

Please note

Cambridge ESOL centres are independent institutions, authorised to promote and administer the Cambridge ESOL examinations, in accordance with strict and detailed procedures. Cambridge ESOL centres are subject to regular inspections and quality control procedures. Details of the criteria for authorisation as a centre and for the conduct of exams are available on request from Cambridge ESOL.

Please note that in entering for a Cambridge ESOL exam, a candidate establishes a contract with the centre and not directly with Cambridge ESOL.
