Become a test centre

What a centre does now

CELP is sat online, in the candidate's own browser, under automated invigilation. Most candidates sit it at home and never see a venue.

A test centre exists for candidates who want or need supervision: those without a suitable device or connection, those who prefer a formal setting, and institutions that want their own cohort sat under observation.

What we ask of a centre

• A quiet room with one workstation per candidate and space between them
• A device per candidate with a working camera, microphone and up-to-date browser
• A connection that will carry the sitting without interruption
• A named supervisor present for the whole session
• A documented process for checking candidate identity on arrival

What a centre does not do

Centres do not mark, do not hold question papers and do not see results. Marking is done by CELP examiners; the centre's role is the room and the supervision.

Applying

Write to candidates@celp.org with the subject line "Centre application", describing the room, the equipment and the supervising staff. We arrange a check sitting before approving a centre.
