However, if your child’s current school does not use CE or your child currently attends a state or international school, you may need to register them with ISEB directly.
All pupils taking the CE examinations must do so at a registered and approved examination centre. An examination centre for CE could be:
– Current school: a UK prep school, maintained primary or junior school or international prep or junior school
– Senior School: if the pupil is sitting the test at one of the schools to which they have applied
– Other educational and governmental venue: an approved educational or governmental independent exam venue, known as a ‘non-school venue’, such as a British Council
If your international, state, or non-school venue would like to act as an examination centre for CE, please ask them to complete the form below.
Prep schools in the UK do not need to register as examination centres; all schools registering candidates for the examinations automatically act as examination centres but are not required to host external candidates.
A member of the Qualifications & Delivery Team will then contact you to discuss your next steps.
Schools can register their candidates for the examinations through the Examinations and Qualifications Registration Area.
Please complete this form to submit a request to act as an examination centre for the Common Entrance (CE) and Common Academic Scholarship (CASE) examinations. You can only apply to become an Examination Centre if you are a school or an educational or governmental location.
