The British Council is the UK’s International organisation for education and cultural relations. We connect people in Sierra Leone with people in the UK and beyond.

The British Council has been established in Sierra Leone since 1943 under a technical co-operation agreement with the Government of Sierra Leone.

We work principally in areas of education, youth society and good governance in Sierra Leone.

Examination / Administration Services

We are an approved centre for British professional and academic examinations. We register and invigilate CIPS, University of Cambridge International Examination and the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), the test needed for entrance to many British and foreign universities.

Please view the IELTS generic steps to register and IELTS test dates for 2013.
