How we help

An Exam Centre That Says Yes

A private candidate sits exams at an approved centre without being enrolled there as a full time student. You make your entries through the centre and pay the relevant fees. It is the route used by home educators, independent learners, retake students, international students and adults.

LMSC is built for exactly this. We take the subjects others avoid, supervise the practicals and coursework properly, and back your result with predicted grades and a reference where you need one.

  • Practical sciences and coursework hosted in house
  • Clear deadlines, transparent fees and no surprises
  • Revision, mock exams and predicted grades available
  • Friendly, specialist support at every step

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. LMSC welcomes private and external candidates, including home educators, independent learners, retake students, international students and adults. You make your entries through us as your centre and we guide you through every step.

Yes, and it is one of our specialisms. As a maths and science college with our own laboratories and qualified specialists, we deliver the A Level practical endorsement across the twelve required practicals in house, which many general exam centres cannot.

Yes. Because LMSC is a college, we can issue an assessment based predicted grade and a credible UCAS reference, grounded in your mock and coursework performance. This is a service most exam centres do not offer.

Entries for the summer series typically open in the autumn and close in the new year, while the November series closes in early October. Early entry secures your place and avoids awarding body late fees, so we recommend booking as soon as you can.

Fees depend on the subject, the level and any practical or coursework component. We publish a transparent fee list with no hidden charges, and you can request an exact quote at any time.
