Candidates for the Cambridge ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) examinations can register with Cambridge English For Life (CEFL) Headquarters via CEFL Member Institutions because the Cambridge ESOL exams can only be administered by an Authorised Centre for the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations. Entries, which must be accompanied by fees, cannot be sent directly to Cambridge ESOL, UK.
There must be a minimum of 10 candidates for any one of the Cambridge ESOL exams at each sitting. Candidates are not allowed to enter for the same exam more than once in the same session or window period. For example, a candidate must not be entered for both the Tuesday FCE and the Saturday FCE in the same June or December session.
The closing date for registration is at least 10 weeks before the actual exam date to ensure that exam entry arrangements and Special Arrangements for candidates with a disability or specific learning difficulty, such as dyslexia, can be made in strict accordance with the requirements of the Cambridge ESOL examination board. It should be noted that authorised Cambridge ESOL exam centres may set registration deadlines that are earlier than those published.
Fees for the Cambridge ESOL exams vary according to the exam taken. Candidates must pay the appropriate fees, in cash or by cheque, when notified by the authorised Cambridge ESOL exam centre and upon registration for the exam (10 weeks in advance).
