How to book an exam
Due to the global challenges caused by COVID-19, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel the June sitting for the Professional level exams and will be postponing the July Advanced Level exams. We have also been advised that all PearsonVue owned exam centres in the UK are closed until further notice affecting those taking our Certificate Level exams, other countries have also been affected by such closures. For further information please visit our coronavirus hub.
