Do you want to earn an academic qualification from a leading UK institution? The British Council administers exams on behalf of many UK universities and colleges, making distance learning possible around the world. To find out more about education opportunities in the UK, please visit the EducationUK website. For information about taking a UK university exam with the British Council please read through the frequently asked questions below.

		HOW DO I REGISTER?

	You need to register for your exam directly with the institution you are enrolled with. Contact your institution and make them aware you would like to use British council as a venue for your examination. The date(s), time and venue of examinations will be communicated to you by your institution and should be confirmed with British Council to avoid confusion.

		WHAT ARE THE FEES?

			Some institutions pay for all administrative charges including courier costs. We invoice them at the end of the session and the candidate does not pay.
			Other institutions require candidates to pay £65.00 per day’s paper. Candidates must pay this fee no later than a week before the exams.

		HOW DO I PAY?

	Purchase a bank draft at any reputable bank in Ghana payable to British Council.

		Where will I sit my exams?

	The venue is always the British Council, Ghana. However, please confirm this at least a week before the exams since uncontrollable circumstances can cause a change. Please always report at least 30 minutes before the exam start time.

		What should I take to the exam?

	You are required to show up with your valid school ID card and any other valid national photographic ID card i.e. passport, voter’s ID, driver’s license or NHIS card. Failure to show up with valid ID’s will call for an incident report being put on your script or total denial to writing of exams.

		WHEN WILL I GET MY RESULTS?

	Results are sent to candidates directly from their schools and through British Council. Please contact your school directly for results if it is long overdue.

		NEED MORE ANSWERS?

	For more information about courses and registering for an exam, please contact the university you are enrolled with. If you need to contact the British Council Ghana exams team, please email us.

		what is the refund policy?

Individuals may cancel their registration and claim a refund if they notify the exams services at least a week before the exams. Exams Services will charge an administrative fee of 20% of the equivalent of £60 paid for cancellation.

Candidates who want to cancel their registration after the exams date may only receive a refund if they can satisfy the Examinations Officer that their ability to sit the test has been affected by illness or serious cause. Causes include:

			Serious illness – e.g. hospital admission or serious injury (does not include minor illness such as colds, headache e.t.c.)
			Loss or bereavement – death of close family member
			Hardship/trauma – victim of crime, victim of a traffic accident
