If they charge you just using them to find you an exam centre and you then also have to pay the exam fee on top, its a scam.
Just phone local 6th Forms and colleges and ask to speak to the exams officer - this is usually easy to arrange.

Campbell Harris College, takes around 2,000 Private Candidates each year. They are located on 185 High Street Kensington, London, W8 6SH. Just a few minutes walk from High Street Kensington tube station.

You pay £350 for each A-Level subject and it includes all the fees too. :smile: Also, you can do any options and exam boards from Edexcel, AQA, OCR and WJEC.

The exams take place at:

Unfortunately I’m in Manchester so places I can do are Bolton and Manchester. Even Preston works but I can’t seem to tell if any are genuine. Does anyone know any exam centres taht accept private candidates around there?

Oh, I see. Yes, Tutors and Exams is one of the major exam centres. I took exams there and can confirm they are legitimate.
