Online registration is now open for all centres in Hungary. Your registration is only valid upon payment of the exam fee.
Step 1: Register online
- Select your preferred exam, location and date below and click on the link to register.
- SPEAKING TEST DATE: The Speaking Test date is determined by our Exams Centre, according to the Cambridge Assessment English specified time frame. It is not possible to select an exact date or to change the Speaking Test time. Before applying, please check the time frame of the Speaking Test to avoid overlaps with personal commitments. The time frame set by Cambridge Assessment English will be displayed at the first step of the application, beside the Written Test date. Should you have any questions regarding the Speaking Test date, please contact our Customer Services team.
- You have to accept Terms and Conditions, which you can also find at the bottom of this page, along with Cambridge English Exams Regulations. Please make sure you've read both documents.
- Terms and Conditions detail the regulations about taking test day photos of the candidate during certain exams. You can also find at the bottom of this page the relevant consent forms, which must be signed and submitted in order to take part in the exam.
- Enter your personal data to register for your chosen exam. Please make sure that you enter your details exactly the same way as it appears on your identification document, as you will not be able to sit the exam otherwise.
- You will have the option to pay online by credit / debit card (VISA or MasterCard) or via bank transfer. You can read about the details below.
Please note: Exams will not appear here after the registration deadline has passed or if tests are already full.
Once registered, you will receive an automatic reply called ‘Application Summary’. If you don't receive this e-mail right after registering, please contact us immediately.
IMPORTANT! The number of available seats are limited for each exam date. Therefore we recommend that you register as early as possible. Please do not wait until the registration deadline because once the seats are sold for an exam date, we cannot accept further registrations. However, we do our best to provide enough capacity for all exams throughout the year.
Step 2: Pay for your exam
You can pay for your test in one of the following ways:
- Via credit / debit card online, immediately after filling out the online application form. Only VISA or Mastercard is accepted.
