Email local colleges/sixth forms about your circumstances.

Google "exam centres in _____" .Put down your postcode/town.

Exam centres can charge A LOT. I had to pay £90 per module (£540 in total).

There is advice on all the exam board websites for private candidates, including names of centres that might accept you.
