Cardiff Met Conferences Keeping you in the Know Cardiff Met Proves a Popular Exam Centre Venue With its large range of versatile spaces including halls and classrooms, it’s no wonder that Cardiff Met is a popular choice of venue to host exams. Cardiff Met Conferences work with a number of companies to operate as an exam centre venue including the University College of Estate Management (UCEM), The Open University, Trade Skills 4U, The Chartered Insurance Institute, The Association of British Dispensing Opticians and Celtic English Academy.

“Clare and the Conference Team are a pleasure to work with given their friendly and professional support. They go the ‘extra mile’ by anticipating your needs and making helpful suggestions. Thank you!” Celtic English Academy

Case Study: Celtic English Academy The Celtic English Academy (CEA), based in Cardiff is the first and currently only authorised Occupational English Test (OET) exam centre in Wales. OET is an internationally recognised qualification to help non-native English speakers register and practice in the UK healthcare sector and other English-speaking environments. CEA has partnered with Cardiff Met Conferences to deliver monthly OET exams at the University. Exam day is either a Saturday or Sunday and involves using multiple rooms for listening, reading and writing tests, in the morning and then individual rooms, for each candidate, to take the speaking test in the afternoon. All these rooms conform to strict OET exam regulations. The exam rooms are complemented by reception, waiting and registration / cloaking areas. Particular attention is focused on making the exam experience enjoyable and stress free, by ‘putting people, and not the process, first’. Candidates and anyone who accompany them are invited to bring their own refreshments as well as being made aware of the cafeteria services provided by ‘The Gallery’ coffee shop on campus. We have worked together, to support 183 candidates to-date, with 100% satisfaction! In fact, on average, we have more than doubled the UK and Ireland benchmark.

“Thank you so much for all the help and support you and your colleagues have given me over the last week. Everyone has been so friendly and helpful making the 'job' that much easier and enjoyable to do.” Open University
