Fees for these services can vary hugely from centre to centre. It may be worth travelling out of the area. (It’s worth it) You can view a list of official OCR approved examination centres here
The later you leave it to arrange, the more expensive it can be. At times, it can be impossible to arrange so plan ahead. (8 months minimum recommended)
Your contract with us is for the course and support only. We will not refund you outside of the 14 days cooling off period if you have not confirmed these arrangements with your selected centre.
Enquire & confirm with your chosen centre, do not leave it to chance!
