All PTE test centres in Kuwait
The table lists every Kuwait entry in Pearson's test centers and fees finder, read on 13 October 2026. Addresses are left out on purpose; the finder and your booking confirmation give the current ones.
| Area | Centre |
|---|---|
| Salmiya | UK International (JnS Education Consultant) |
| Mahboula | ICSA Mahboula |
Choosing between Salmiya and Mahboula
Salmiya suits candidates in Kuwait City and Hawalli; Mahboula, further south, suits Ahmadi and Fahaheel. Pearson lists no centre in Jahra or Farwaniya. IELTS has more venues, including Sharq, Sabah Al Salem and Abu Halifa (see IELTS test centres in Kuwait).
Pearson's finder does not show which centre runs which test on which day. When you book, choose the exact test first (PTE Academic, Academic UKVI, Core or Home) and then your city; only centres with slots for that test appear. Slots can be booked at least 24 hours ahead (Pearson's booking guide).
