Payment via Debit/Credit Card
We have introduced a new system for taking card payments (since 1st March 2017). If you want to pay by debit/credit card, please call +44 (0)20 7377 1577. One of our team members will take your exam details and put you into an automated system where you will enter your card detail using the keypad on your phone. The system is highly secure and will email you a receipt for the payment. There will be no additional charges for this service. Please don’t send your card details along with the timetable.
