New location for exams in Abu Dhabi

We are pleased to announce that all UK examination enquiries and registration formalities in Abu Dhabi will now be completed at the VFS (please see the map for the exact location) from 02nd July onwards.  All exams related queries will be attended to by British Council staff at VFS.  The attestation service for UK educational certificates will also be available at this new location.

With this move we aim to deliver a higher level of service than the one that our customers have come to expect from the British Council over the years.  A central location, ample car parking space along with a spacious and comfortable waiting area are just a few of the benefits our customers can look forward to at the new location.
