If you’re applying for the Cambridge Exam after the entry closing date but before the final materials fulfilment date, there will be a £50 late fee added to your booking.

This fee helps cover the extra admin and coordination needed during this time — but of course, we’d love to help you avoid it!

To make sure you have the most up-to-date information, please ask us about the entry closing date and final materials fulfilment date when booking your course.
