Final stages

When we receive your Initial Enquiry Form, we will contact you to discuss the registration options that are best for your institution.

If registration as an independent centre (e.g. Cambridge International Centre) is right for your institution, CIE will send you a Registration Application Form and information about the approval process.

(If registration as an Attached Centre is right for you, CIE will put you in contact with the right distributor - for your location and the qualifications you wish to offer.)

You should complete and return the Registration Application Form to CIE.

CIE will contact your institution to discuss and progress the application, and advise on the next stage - which normally includes a pre–registration inspection (except for UK schools who already satisfy the requirements of any UK examinations board and are subject to OFSTED, ICQ or ISI inspections).

A CIE centre inspection visit follows. If it is satisfactory, CIE will send you registration invoices and a contract. Once these contractual details are complete, approval of Cambridge Centre status is granted. Cambridge International Centres will then receive a password for the CIE Direct website and for the CIE Teacher Support website.
