How can I order promotional leaflets and posters?

To support efforts to prevent the spread of Covid-19 (novel coronavirus) in Hong Kong, the British Council in Hong Kong is suspending the promotional leaflets and posters delivery services until further notice.

Can I arrange exams at my school / centre?

If you have a minimum of 25 candidates (for YLE) or 40 candidates (for KET/PET/FCE/CAE/CPE) in one exam session, we can arrange exams to be held at your school/centre*. If the minimum number of candidates cannot be met, you can still register your students to take the exams at our open sessions, which are usually held at the British Council. 

*Please note that your school/centre will need to satisfy exams venue requirements. 

If you want to make a group booking or obtain details on venue requirements, please contact us at 2913 5100 or examinations@britishcouncil.org.hk. 

How can I prepare students for Cambridge English exams?

Students can purchase exam preparation books published by the Cambridge University Press. Please visit online resources provided on the Cambridge English Teachers website for more information. 

 

What people say about us

"The British Council is very professional and organised. What is more important, our students had a better understanding of their learning of English after taking Cambridge English: Young Learners (YLE) and Cambridge English: Key (KET) examinations. That's what made our partnership worthwhile. It has been my pleasure working with them. They are a highly trusted partner and I would recommend other schools in Hong Kong to look at their English programmes."

Michelle Ko, Vice Principal of Bishop Walsh Primary School

"We feel proud of being a partner of the British Council in Hong Kong. The continuous support from the British Council has given us a strong backup as a Cambridge English courses provider."

Clara Cheng, Centre Manager of the Scout Association of HK – Education Centre
