Where can I take IELTS or PTE in Dakar?

Pearson's appointment finder, linked from its test centres and fees page, listed International School of Management ISM in Dakar on 30 October 2026, the only centre in Senegal.

Pearson's appointment finder shows centres that have PTE Academic slots; it does not say which tests each centre runs on which day. In myPTE, choose PTE Academic, PTE Academic UKVI or PTE Core first and then the city; only centres with slots for that test appear.

Read on 29 and 30 October 2026 in the British Council's booking system and Pearson's price finder. IELTS is priced in CFA francs. Pearson prices PTE in US dollars.

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

IELTS: book online in the British Council's booking system, choose Dakar and pick a session; the venue address comes in your confirmation. IDP does not run IELTS in Senegal. Bring the identity document you registered with.

PTE: create a myPTE account with details that exactly match your passport, choose the test, then a centre and a slot at least 24 hours ahead (Pearson's booking guide). Pearson's ID policy asks for a valid passport for every PTE test; an alternative ID is possible only for citizens testing at home in countries on its exceptions list, so check that list before relying on a national ID card.

Results: both IELTS providers list results in 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 to check you are ready.
