British Council Singapore

The British Council Singapore is similar to British councils everywhere. They provide a variety of services including, but not limited to, teaching English and organizing English examinations like the IELTS.

They serve as the official examinations centre for University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL) in Singapore which means they oversee and administer Cambridge exams including the CPE, CAE, FCE, KET and PET.

According to their website, the goal of the British Council Singapore is "to build mutually beneficial relationships between people in the UK and Singapore and to increase Singaporeans’ appreciation of the UK’s creative ideas and achievements."
