If you are registered with an overseas school, college, university or professional institution, you may be able to take your examinations without travelling overseas. Contact our offices and we will make all the arrangements for you.

We will receive and store examination papers, and make arrangements for a suitable venue and trained invigilators.  We will return the papers to the examining body by courier no more than one working day following the exam. We ensure that all regulations set by the institution are followed and that all requirements are met.

Fees
Candidates or institutions will be invoiced for the venue, invigilation services fee, and the cost to return the papers via DHL.
Effective 1 January 2006, there will be a flat invigilation services fee of £60 (or the Jamaican dollar equivalent) per paper up to three hours. The cost for the venue varies depending on the number of candidates and the length of the exam.  The cost for courier service will vary by weight.

Please note that we are unable to host examinations on local or UK public holidays.

The British Council's liability will be limited to the refund of the registration fee or re-testing at a later date.
