All PTE test centres in the UAE
The table lists every UAE entry in Pearson's test centers and fees finder, read on 10 October 2026. All deliver the same computer-based test at the same fee. Addresses are left out on purpose; the finder and your booking confirmation give the current ones.

|---|---|
| Dubai | JNS Training and Testing Centre |
| Dubai | The Exam Preparation & Testing House (FZCO) |

If you live outside Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or Al Ain
Pearson lists no PTE centre in Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah or Umm Al Quwain. From the northern emirates the nearest listed centres are in Sharjah and Dubai; from the western region, Abu Dhabi. IELTS has a wider network, with venues in every emirate (see IELTS test centres in the UAE).
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).

Take a free scored PTE mock →Which PTE test to book
All four tests cost the same AED 1,520 except PTE Home (AED 1,290), so the only real decision is which result you need: PTE Academic for universities and Australian or New Zealand visas, PTE Academic UKVI for UK visas, PTE Core for Canadian immigration. A result cannot be switched to another test afterwards. See PTE Academic vs PTE Core and PTE Home.
Refund and reschedule rules are in our PTE fee in the UAE guide. Take a free PTE mock test before you book so the attempt counts.
