I cannot book an English language test, what should I do?

If you are experiencing any difficultly with booking a test at either a IELTS or TOEFL test centre we will also accept:

• TOEFL iBT Home Edition Test, which may be taken at home, subject to eligibility. The online test is the same format and level as the one you would take at a test centre. If you take this test, please upload your certificate in the normal way. If you successfully pass the test at the required level for your course, you will then be assessed remotely by the Language Centre (free of charge) before we complete the English language offer condition.
  
  
• IELTS Indicator, which may be taken at home, subject to some technical requirements. The online test is the same format and level as the one you would take at an IELTS test centre. Candidates should receive their test results within seven days of taking the test. Once you have received your test certificate, please upload a screenshot or scan of the certificate to the self-service portal so that we can verify the results online. 

If you are not able, or do not wish to take the above online tests, you should continue to check the availability of the TOEFL and IELTS test centres in your country. We recommend you check the following websites regularly for updates on language test centres.
