How do I register for Cambridge exams as a private candidate?

You can register for our exams as a private candidate even if you don’t attend a Cambridge school.

First, you need to find a Cambridge school in your country that accepts private candidates and register with them to take our exams. You are responsible for making arrangements with the school and they can support you with any exam-related queries.

Some syllabuses or options are not available to private candidates. This is detailed in each specific syllabus guide under the ‘Before you start’ section. All of our syllabuses are on our website under each relevant qualification area.
