Can I do Cambridge or edexcel A level exams in France?
so I recently moved to France and the high school system in my home country is identical to UK. We have the O level,which is equal to GCSEs and A Level after that. I have only done my O level and French universities require a high school diploma equivalent to the baccalaureate which will be A level here. We can actually do Cambridge and edexcel A level if we want to other than our local A level.
and So my question is that is it possible to do Cambridge A level in a centre in France? ( I checked and apparently there are?) Maybe through the British council? Is this possible? Has anyone done this? Not just France but any other country? I only want to if I can write the exams here

I'm not from France but in my country we also have IGCSE/ O levels (equivalent to GCSE) and International A levels/IAL (equivalent to A levels). We usually sit for the exam by registering for our subjects through British council (you will be a private candidate) or we go to a school/ centre who can do the registration on behalf of us and your certificate for IGCSE/ IAL will be under the name of the school. However, not all schools will do the registration for you. Usually the school will take an extra charge.

Also my questions keeps on getting removed. I am very new to this forum so can anyone tell me what is the right place to post this?

EdExcel, yes: https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/support-topics/understanding-our-qualifications/find-a-pearson-centre.html?Country=France
There are only 5 cities that you can go to do the exams though:
•
Compiegne
•
Paris
•
Pau
•
St Colomb de Lauzun
•
Strasbourg
That's quite a commute if you live somewhere remote.
For Cambridge International, yes: https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/exam-administration/private-candidates/register-as-a-private-candidate/ and https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/why-choose-us/find-a-cambridge-school/?Location=France
Apparently, you can't work with the British Council in France (not sure why) for your exams. There are 16 schools in France would accept you as a private candidate though.
Do note: I haven't done any of the above, since I do all of my A Levels in the UK. So you would need to do your due diligence to check whether you can sit the exams at the listed exam centres.
