PTE test centres in Bhutan
The centres come from Pearson's test centers and fees page and its centre list on 14 October 2026. Live dates and seats are in Pearson's seat search. We give names and cities, not addresses.
| City | Centre | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Thimphu | Royal Institute of Management | PTE Academic, PTE Core |
| Paro | Norbuling PTE Centre | PTE Academic, PTE Core |
Which test to book
For Australia, book PTE Academic: the Department of Home Affairs accepts it when taken at a secure test centre, and does not list PTE Core. PTE Core is for Canadian immigration. Our PTE Academic vs PTE Core guide explains the difference.
Neither Bhutanese centre offers PTE Academic UKVI or PTE Home, because Pearson does not sell them in Bhutan. If a UK visa asks for a SELT, IELTS for UKVI runs in Thimphu; see IELTS test centres in Bhutan.

How to book a PTE centre
To book, create a myPTE account, choose the test, pick a centre and a slot at least 24 hours ahead, and pay. Pearson accepts American Express, Discover, Mastercard and Visa, and a voucher or promo code is entered at the payment step (Pearson booking guide). Your account name must match your passport exactly; it can be corrected up to 3 days before the test, never on test day, and a mismatch means no test and no refund.
Both centres charge the same, so pick the city you can reach on the day. See PTE exam fee in Bhutan for refunds, and take a free PTE mock test first.
