Signpost for Adult Learners

Looking for an exam centre…

Thank you for your enquiry.  Wessex Outreach exam centre works exclusively with schools, providing Cambridge English examinations to young people.  We don’t run public exam sessions for adult learners or provide teaching and preparation courses, like some centres do.

To enter for your Cambridge English exam, you will need to find an authorised exam centre.

If you are a private candidate/adult student learning English, we can signpost you to our colleagues at other exam centres offering Cambridge exams.

Here are four centres which offer a selection of either: paper-based format exams only; and paper-based exams, or digital (computer-based) exams.  Please visit the websites and contact individual centres about their schedule of available exams, dates and prices.

We hope you find this information helpful.  Good luck with your exam.
