Become a preparation centre
If you are a school or institution that prepares and enters candidates for Cambridge English exams through an authorised exam centre, you can become one of our preparation centres. We currently have over 30,000 registered preparation centres and they are a valuable part of our global centre network.
Why become a preparation centre?
Register as one of our preparation centres and gain access to:
- the Cambridge ESOL Online for preparation centres website for the latest news, information and downloads about our exams
- marketing materials, including exam factsheets, which can be personalised and sent directly to potential candidates
- a wide variety of teaching support materials and ready-made presentations for parents
- newsletters directly from Cambridge ESOL which include information on new developments and special offers.
Additionally, some preparation centres receive a certificate they can display in their offices and a logo they can use to promote their preparation courses with the prestigious University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations brand (criteria apply to the use of the logo and certificate).
A valuable part of our centre community
We want to make sure that preparation centres know how valued their contribution is to our community. That’s why we have developed Cambridge ESOL Online for preparation centres – a website especially for preparation centres which has many useful features, including access to candidates’ exams results, exam factsheets and a discount on all Cambridge ESOL exam preparation materials ordered via the website.
We have many more exciting projects planned for the future, including expanding Cambridge ESOL Online for preparation centres. In order to keep preparation centres up to date with these developments, we have created From Cambridge ESOL to you, the newsletter for preparation centres. This bimonthly newsletter includes information about new developments, tips on how to use Cambridge ESOL Online for preparation centres and any special offers available exclusively for preparation centres.
If you are already a preparation centre, ask your centre to register you today and start enjoying the benefits. Once you receive your login details, please visit: https://preparationcentre.cambridgeesolonline.org
