Exam centres for in-person invigilated exams

Centre availability: We are not currently able to provide useful updates on centre availability, due to allocation data changing continually. Where possible we will aim to update this page to mark centres as ‘centre full’.

Start time: All exam start times are 09:00 UK time (BST) (UTC +1)

Arrival time: Candidates taking in-person exams should aim to arrive at the exam centre at 08:00 UK time (BST) (UTC +1). This allows one hour to go through the identification process and familiarise yourself with the desk set up.
