Finding a Cambridge IGCSE Center

1. British Council: In many countries the British Council is the main Cambridge partner. Go to the British Council website for your country and look for “Cambridge exams” or “school exams.”
2. Cambridge website: Use the official Cambridge “find a school” or “exam centre” search and filter by country and “Cambridge IGCSE.”
3. Contact schools: Some Cambridge-approved schools accept private candidates; check with the centre directly.

Finding an Edexcel (Pearson) Center

1. Pearson website: Use the “find a centre” (or “test centre”) tool, choose your country, and look for centres that offer International GCSE (Edexcel).
2. Schools: Many international schools are Pearson centres; some allow external candidates.

What to Ask the Centre

• Do you accept private candidates?
• Which sessions do you offer (e.g. May/June, October/November)?
• Which subjects can I take here?
• What are the registration deadlines and fees?
• Do you offer practicals or alternative to practical for sciences?
