Preparation centres

A preparation centre is a school, institution, private language school or language centre that prepares and enters students for Cambridge English exams through an authorised exam centre.

Join our network of over 52,000 registered schools across the world. Learn more about the benefits and how to become a preparation centre.

If you are already a Cambridge English preparation centre, we have lots of information, advice and resources to help you prepare your students for their exams.

IELTS centres

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is owned, developed and delivered through a partnership of the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge Assessment English. The network of IELTS centres is administered by the British Council and IDP: IELTS Australia. For more information, go to the IELTS website.

Linguaskill Agents

Linguaskill is distributed through our network of authorised agents who run and administer the test. Linguaskill agents, also known as channel partners, promote and administer the test for companies, higher education institutions and training providers who need to establish a candidate’s level of English.

We work with channel partners and agents who can provide excellent customer service and ensure that the standards that institutions and learners expect from Cambridge English are upheld. In return, we offer comprehensive support to help agents deliver the test effectively and efficiently. This includes a wide range of technical support, tools and advice.
