CTA Exam Test Centres
For more information on each Test Centre, click below. This includes useful information such as transport links and access instructions to get into the Test Centre.
The majority of Test Centres are provided by Kaplan, but there are a few that are hosted by another supplier.
Please note for London, you do not have a choice of which Test Centre you can select. London Islington is the main Test Centre. If this becomes full for any of the exams, then you will be placed in the overflow Test Centre at London Bridge (Borough High Street).
Please ensure that you enter to sit at your preferred test centre location as it will not be possible to amend your choice of test centre once you have booked.
