Exam Centres
There are many exam centres across the UK who may take private candidates. Some are in an educational setting - schools and colleges - whilst others are set up for the purpose of providing options for private candidates.
We have listed the names of some of these centres here, but there are many others. The schools listed have notified us in the past that they welcome private candidates, but things may have changed. If you become aware of anything that needs changing on the list - additions, amendments or removals - please do let us know so we can keep it updated.
As a school we don't normally have any contact with the exam centres, so we are unable to comment on them. However, in 2020 and 2021 we have worked closely with a number of exam centres to help our students get grades; these centres were flexible and accommodating, and so we have included that on their listing.
The Cambridge website also has a useful search facility for finding exam centres near you, at: https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/why-choose-us/find-a-cambridge-school/

Tutors & Exams provides examination and assessment facilities primarily aimed at private and home educated candidates. The company was established in 2014 by a former Examinations Officer and Awarding Organisation Manager with over 25 years’ experience in education administration. In those intervening years Tutors & Exams has evolved into a much valued and respected examination venue.
Tutors & Exams has nationwide coverage with centres located around the country https://www.tutorsandexams.uk/#centre-locations. All are approved for examination delivery by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ).
In addition to our examination centres, we also have a dedicated Science laboratory based in Birmingham with the ability to deliver A Level Science practicals all year round (consecutive four-day course for each subject). We also work in partnership with two schools in London to deliver Science practicals outside of term time in these locations.
In 2020/21 Tutors & Exams delivered examination assessments to thousands of candidates. We cater for 95% of all GCSE/GCE and IGCSE subjects alongside Functional Skills and have a dedicated SEN specialist who can assist in organising access arrangements if required. We are willing to consider additional subjects to assess if required.
We work in partnership with many large, respected distance learning providers and online schools, and we very much value the relationship we have with them to deliver high quality assessment for their candidates. We also accommodate private training organisations delivering qualifications to sizeable cohorts geographically spread throughout the UK.
In addition, we also facilitate examinations for a growing number of universities to deliver their distance learning programmes. The University of London, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh Napier University, Loughborough University and Edinburgh Business School are already valued clients. Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing and AAT (Association of Accountancy Technicians) assessments are also available in our centres.
