Where can I take IELTS or PTE in Lilongwe?

Pearson lists no PTE centre in Lilongwe. Its test centres and fees page listed 1 test centre in Malawi, in Blantyre, on 30 October 2026, with PTE Academic at USD 255.

Read on 29 and 30 October 2026 in the British Council's booking system, and Pearson's fees page with Malawi selected. The IELTS price is the same in Lilongwe and Blantyre.

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

IELTS: book online with the British Council, choose Lilongwe and pick a session; the venue address comes in your confirmation. Register with the identity document you will bring on test day, and bring that same document.

PTE: create a myPTE account with details that exactly match your ID, choose the test, then your city, a centre and a slot (Pearson's booking guide). Pearson's ID policy asks for a valid passport, and a passport is the only ID accepted if you test outside your country of citizenship; check its exceptions list before relying on a national ID card.

Results: both IELTS booking systems show 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 or a free PTE mock test to check you are ready.
