Booking

We have detailed the process of how to book an assessment but if at any point you would like to talk to us please call our team on 01695 573439 and we will be happy to help you through the process.        

Please take a look at Guidelines for Organisers which takes you through the complete process from booking an assessment to receiving your certificates.

ESB assessments are held at a time and place convenient to the candidates.  In certain cases, e.g. in adult education, it is possible to book assessments to take place in the evening or at the weekend, for which a supplement is payable.

Ideally assessments should be booked 3 months in advance, particularly for busy months such as December, March, May and June. We will always try to accommodate you at short notice but this may incur a fee and may not always be possible.

Before booking an assessment for the first time, you need to apply to be a registered centre by completing the Centre Registration Form and sending it to ESB Head Office. 

Once your registration has been accepted, the booking process is in 3 simple steps.

  • Complete the Exam Reservation Form (ERF) and send to ESB.
    You will receive acknowledgement by email. If we do not have your email address, we will post your acknowledgement.
  • Complete the Candidate Registration Form (CRF) and send to ESB.
    Approximately two weeks before your assessment, you will receive by post confirmation of your Assessor, Candidate Report Forms and an alphabetical list of the candidates you have entered (the assessor will complete this Results List after the assessment, but you need to check the names are correct).
  • Contact your assessor(s) one week prior to the assessment taking place to confirm the arrangements.

The assessor will post the completed candidate reports direct to the centre within 5 working days of the assessment taking place.
