Exam Centres

UK centres

Candidates who have selected to sit the exam in the UK must contact Pearson VUE to book their test. The earlier a candidate books, the greater the chance of the preferred centre being available.

Pearson VUE operates  a large number of test centres throughout the UK, including centres in:

• Ballymena
• Birmingham
• Bristol                                   
• Cambridge 
• Cardiff                         
• Edinburgh                        
• Glasgow         
• Leeds
• Leicester
• London 
• Manchester
• Newcastle.

Please note, we ensure that places in the centres above will be available at the opening of the application period, however candidates who book later may find that some of these centres have filled up.

Centres outside the UK  

Candidates are given a choice of regions from which to select, and then asked to nominate a particular city in that region as the location for their test. Pearson VUE and the Federation will confirm a candidate’s place within 4 weeks of the closing date for overseas applications.

Please note that, in the unlikely event that the Federation and Pearson VUE are unable to deliver an SCE in the specific location requested, candidates will be offered an alternative location.
