Finding an exam centre which provides GCSE Farsi for private candidate

My grandson has taught himself Farsi (worked for years in restaurant run by Iranians with many Iranian staff). He wishes to do GCSE in Farsi. I'm finding it extremely difficult finding a suitable exam centre. I can get a list of exam centres but without phoning them all I cannot find which subjects exams are given in. Can anyone help?
TIA Anne
A centre doesn't have to teach a subject in order to enter candidates for the GCSE, but in the case of GCSE Persian they'd need someone able to conduct the speaking exam.

Thanks for the information, I wasn't aware of that.
I did see Rustam School online but it shows as closed, open 10am Saturday 🤔. I did message them on Messenger but will phone on Saturday.

The next opportunity to take GCSE Persian is Summer 2023 and it's not possible to enter for the exams until mid November. I'd leave it until October before contacting them.
