You must obtain your Exams Officer's permission before submitting your application form to ensure they are able to make the necessary arrangements. They will need their name and email address as part of the application process in order to obtain confirmation and to send exam instructions in due course.  

Applications outside of the UK will be considered on an individual basis.  If international applicants do not attend an eligible school (eg an International School), there may be an option of sitting the exams at a British Council Office.  

Any such arrangements would be at the expense of the applicant, who would need to make all necessary arrangements directly with the British Council in advance of submitting their application form.
