SQE assessments are held in Pearson VUE test centres in the UK and internationally, as well as in dedicated venues in England and Wales for oral assessments. You’ll see available locations when booking opens for each sitting.
We aim to provide a consistent network of locations, but availability may vary by assessment and booking window.
All SQE1 assessments and SQE2 Written assessments are delivered at Pearson VUE test centres. Test centres are available across the UK and in many countries worldwide. However, availability may vary by location due to local holidays, time zone differences, or capacity constraints. Start times can also vary, particularly at international test centres.

You can use the Pearson test centre search tool to explore general information about test centre locations.
Please note: this tool shows all Pearson VUE centres, not just those used for the SQE. A centre’s inclusion in this tool does not guarantee it will be available for your SQE sitting.
