About usThe British Council is the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. We create friendly knowledge and understanding between the people of the UK and other countries. We do this by making a positive contribution to the UK and the countries we work with – changing lives by creating opportunities, building connections and engendering trust.
We are globally renowned as an authority for our work in English teaching, testing and in supporting teachers of English.
In Bulgaria, we have been organising exams for 26 years. We are the first authorised examination centre of Cambridge Assessment English in the country, registered under number BG001.

Special arrangementsPlease let us know if you have a disability. We are ready to make suitable arrangements for you whenever possible, provided that we receive your application at least three weeks before the registration deadline, supported by medical documents. Special arrangements can be made for paper-based exams only.
Exam date cancellation We reserve the right to cancel an exam if the number of registered candidates does not meet our minimum entry requirements.
Refunds We are able to refund you your examination fee in specific cases only. No refund will be issued in the event of a timetable clash with a local or other examination, or with professional commitments or trips. Please check our website for further details.
Complaints and Special consideration If you wish to make a complaint, you must do so in writing before you leave the test venue (for computer-based exams) or within three calendar days of the test date (for paper-based exams).
Results and CertificatesStatement of Results will be available online. Instructions on how and when you can access them will be included in your Confirmation of entry, in the bottom left corner of this document. Once your certificate arrives from Cambridge, we will let you know by email. Because of the value placed on certificates, we will require candidates and schools to collect and sign for them in person. Enquiries on results must be received no later than the end of the month following the results issue date. The decisions of Cambridge Assessment English concerning results are final.
How to register?Registration is entirely online. Individual candidates can register at esolreg.britishcouncil.org and institutions can submit block registrations for groups of candidates at esolb2b.britishcouncil.org.
Payment of feesFees must be paid before the registration deadline either:
online when registering for your exam, using your Visa or Master card orby bank transfer to British Council – branch Bulgaria‘s bank account:IBAN BG77 CITI 9250 1051 0015 01, Citibank. Candidates are advised to make bank payments close to the date of their online application, as well as to include their names and exam session in the payment slip.
Age range
There are no age restrictions for candidates. However, in the case of Young Learners, the content is specifically designed for ages 7-12. “For Schools” exams are designed for primary and secondary school students.
Confirmation of entries and examination timetables
All candidates will receive a Confirmation of entry by email, including their timetable and venues for all exam components. If you do not receive this information around three weeks in advance of a paper-based exam or one week before a computer-based exam, you should contact us immediately.
Test date transfer Postponing your exam date is possible under certain conditions. Find out all the details on our website.
