All Pearson Edexcel specification A-Level Exams must be taken at a registered examination centre as a private candidate in a registered school or college. We offer course materials and tutor support although we don't offer the examinations.
An Examinations Officer can assist any registered student with finding centres and dealing with coursework forms, but we do not book exams on behalf of students and it is the students responsibility to find a suitable exam centre and to book their own exams.
It is possible for private Candidates to complete Pearson Edexcel Specification Exams outside of the UK but we recommend asking for clarification and further guidance from the centre in these circumstances.
Students are contacted at the appropriate time prior to their examination window and advised to start arranging their examinations.
You can research and contact possible exam centres prior to enrolment by visiting the Pearson Edexcel page for private candidates which will provide a search facility for possible centres in the UK.
Examination Dates and Exam fees:
A Level exams are only available in the Summer examination window (May/June) and examination fees need to be paid direct to your chosen exam centre. Prices for exams will vary depending on the exam centre's administration costs.
Each A Level Course will take approximately 700 hours of study to complete. You can sign up for a course at any time although course tutors set closing dates for students aiming for each examination window.
