PTE test centres in Surabaya
Pearson's test centre finder listed one PTE centre in Surabaya on 10 October 2026: KELT, a partner venue that Pearson files under East Java. It is the only PTE centre in Java outside the Jakarta area; Pearson lists none in Bali, Malang, Yogyakarta or Makassar.
Pearson's finder does not say which tests each centre runs on which day. When you book, choose PTE Academic, PTE Academic UKVI or PTE Core first and then your city; only centres with slots for that test appear.

How to book, what ID to bring, and when results arrive
IELTS: book online with the British Council or IDP, choose Surabaya and pick a session; the venue address comes in your confirmation. The British Council Foundation registers you with a KTP or passport, takes payment online only (cards, QRIS, e-wallets or virtual account) and gives you one hour to pay after choosing a date; under-18s need a parent consent form.
PTE: create a myPTE account with details that exactly match your ID, choose the test, then Surabaya, a centre and a slot at least 24 hours ahead (Pearson's booking guide). Pearson's ID policy asks for a valid passport. Indonesia is not on its list of countries where another ID is accepted, so a KTP will not do for PTE.
Results: the British Council's booking system says 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.
