IELTS centres in Norway
The ielts.org finder and the British Council booking system list the same three cities. EDU Testing hires each venue and asks that questions go to it, not to the venue. Addresses are left out on purpose.

|---|---|---|
| Oslo | EXAMS, Trollåsen | IELTS on computer NOK 3,850; one Academic paper session at NOK 3,675 |
| Bergen | Akademiet (city centre) or Eidsvåg Fabrikker (5 km north) | IELTS on computer NOK 3,850; UKVI and Life Skills on request |
| Stavanger | Lingu, Hillevåg | IELTS on computer NOK 3,850 |
