We have an extensive global network of authorised exam centres. They:
- administer the exams to Cambridge English quality standards
- organise the recruitment and training of Speaking examiners (except in the UK)
- actively promote Cambridge English exams
- ensure the security of confidential materials
- comply with guidelines for use of our branding and logo
- abide by financial arrangements, as outlined in the Centre Agreement
- make a financial investment in setting up and running the centre.
Over the last five years we have invited our top-performing centres to be part of our Platinum Centre Scheme. Platinum Centres have access to special benefits, including visits to Cambridge for administrative staff, invigilator, customer service, sales and marketing training and free seminar resources.
We are currently reviewing the scheme to ensure that the benefits offered continue to ensure that our centres represent excellence in quality of exam delivery and customer service standards. While this review is being undertaken we are not expanding our current Platinum Centre Network.
