How to organise a Young Learners session at your centre

Entering your students for Cambridge English Young Learners exams is easy to do. You can hold a Young Learners exam session at your centre as long as you have a minimum of 10 candidates per level. If you do not have enough candidates, they can still take the test at one of our Young Learners open sessions.  

Rules and regulations for a Young Learners requested session

If you would like your students to take the Cambridge English Young Learners (YLE) tests at their own school or academy it is essential that you comply with the following basic guidelines:

Exam room requirements

Paper-based exams

  • Individual tables/desks which must face in the same direction.
  • Each candidate must be seated no less than 1.25m away from other candidates in all directions.
  • A reliable, good quality sound system for the listening test.
  • A black/whiteboard or projector to display information on the day of the test.
  • A wall clock or projector to show the time.
  • There should be no books, papers or materials either under or inside the tables or desks.
  • All posters and materials with English on them must be removed from the walls.

Digital exams

  • Computers that meet the minimum technical requirements for the exam that you have chosen.
  • Each candidate must be seated no less than 1.25m away from other candidates in all directions or separation panels used.

Exam day staff
