Exam services for individual candidates

We provide an exam supervision service for international or distance learning students who would like to sit their exams in the Benelux Region.

How does it work?
Exam arrangements can be made by private candidates or institutions. The institution will send question papers, stationary, timetables, and all other exam materials or documentation directly to the British Council Netherlands. Papers are always returned by DHL courier.

Costs
There is a general registration fee of € 100.- per candidate. The additional costs are € 25,- per hour.
Example: Costs for a three hour paper: € 100.- + € 75.-  = € 175.-
If DHL courier costs are not charged to us, the general registration fee will be adjusted.
In case of a private payment of the exams services fees, you will be sent an invoice when the exact number of hours is known and this should be paid before the actual exam day.
In case of an institute paying the exams services fees, the invoice will be enclosed with the return of the papers.

Cancelling and refunding
Cancellation one week or more in advance: 100% refund
Cancellation less than one week in advance: no refund.

Registration
Please contact our Exams Section to ask about the possibilities and make further arrangements.

Exam location
Unless stated otherwise, you will sit your exams in the exams room at our office in Amsterdam. You should report there 15 minutes before the actual starting time of the exam.
