Exam centres: UK and Ireland

Please find your exam centre address and exam start time for the April 2025 session by selecting the cities listed below.

We are asking all candidates taking in-person exams to arrive at the exam centre one hour before the exam is due to start. This will allow time to go through the identification process, and to familiarise yourself with the desk set up.

You will also be required to ensure that all valuables and anything that cannot be taken into the exam room are placed in a safe area provided by the centre.
