British Council in Poland provides exam administration services on behalf of foreign examination
bodies and educational institutions for candidates who are not able to travel abroad to sit their examinations.

British Council Examinations Services:

• ensure that the regulations of all examination bodies and educational institutions are strictly observed,
• receive and store exam papers (ensuring total security of all documents),
• provide a room and invigilators for the actual examination,
• return the completed answer sheets and scripts by method indicated by the examination board or institution.

The above services are provided only at an institution’s request and for written papers only as we are unable to provide
facilities for practical tests.

Test Administration Fees

• For some courses the tuition fee paid to the institution by students includes the cost of administering the examination
  overseas.  In this case the administration fee is paid by the institution direct to the British Council in Poland.  We will
  issue the institution with an invoice for our services and despatch costs (where required).
• All fees from institutions are payable in advance by sterling cheque made out to: British Council Poland
  (the name of the contact person in Examinations Services should be on the envelope only).
• For other courses, students are expected to cover administration costs and despatch locally.  This should be
  clearly stated in the institution’s instructions or letter concerning examination arrangements.  In this case
  we will issue the candidate with an invoice for our services and despatch costs (where required).
• All fees from individual candidates, are payable in advance by bank or postal transfer to the bank account provided
  by British Council.
