Where can I take IELTS or PTE in Baku?

Pearson's test centre finder listed two PTE centres in Baku on 30 October 2026: Oxbridge Educational Services Ltd and the Azerbaijan Republic State Examination Center. PTE Academic, PTE Academic UKVI and PTE Core all cost USD 245.

Read on 29 and 30 October 2026 in the British Council's booking system, IDP's Azerbaijan pages and Pearson's price finder with Azerbaijan selected. IELTS costs the same at both providers in Baku.

Refund, transfer and payment rules are in our IELTS fee in Azerbaijan and PTE fee in Azerbaijan guides.

IELTS: book online with the British Council or IDP, choose Azerbaijan and then the city, and pick a session; the venue address comes in your confirmation. Bring the same passport or ID you entered when booking.

PTE: create a myPTE account with details that exactly match your ID, choose the test, then Baku, the centre and a slot at least 24 hours ahead (Pearson's booking guide). Pearson's ID policy asks for a valid passport, and Azerbaijan is not on its list of countries where another ID is accepted.

Results: both IELTS providers give 1 to 5 days for IELTS on computer, and Pearson sends PTE scores typically within 48 hours (PTE scoring). Before you pay, take a free IELTS mock test or a free PTE mock test to check you are ready.
