Application & Fees
Our rates as an examination centre, including our GCSE, IGCSE, and A level exam fees.
Fees
Greene’s examination fees include the costs of administration of your examination arrangements (including those of the practical endorsement, if applicable), invigilation, examination premises (Oxford or Estoril) and centre-supplied examination materials. They do not include exam board fees which can vary between exam boards and different subjects. You should budget approximately £15 to £30 per exam paper for the most common subjects.
We will send you a quotation and invoice which will show the total amount payable and breakdown between our fees and the exam board fees. You are under no obligation to accept our fee proposal.
However, please note and as stated in our terms and conditions, that once our fee offer has been accepted and paid all examination fees are non-refundable.
We can also help you with post-results services, but at an additional cost as detailed below.
Examination certificates must either be collected in person or sent by post using a stamped and addressed envelope provided by you at the time of the examination.
