If you wish to take a British exam and cannot go to the UK, we might be able to help you by allowing you to take the exam at one of our centres in Italy.

Conditions and regulations
Please note that this service is provided only at the request of the institution or examining board which offers the examination and, unfortunately, we are not able to provide facilities for practical tests - this is a service for written exams only.

Educational institutions and examining boards have strict regulations about how examinations should be run; we make sure that these regulations are observed. We receive and store the papers from the school, college, university or examining board, provide a room and an invigilator for the actual examination, and return the finished scripts to the UK by courier.

Fee payments

			For some courses, especially distance learning courses (for example, Open University courses), the tuition fee paid by the student includes the cost of running examinations outside Britain, and the invigilation fee is paid by the college or university direct to the British Council. In this case we expect institutions to cover courier cost as well as administration.
			For other courses the examination candidate is expected to cover local examination costs and postage. This should be clearly stated in your institution's instructions or letter concerning examination arrangements

Arranging an exam
Contact your nearest British Council Centre - in Rome, Milan, or Naples - if you want to arrange an exam with us. The local centre will also give you information about invigilation fees.
