Anglia Ecuador
Anglia Ecuador is growing rapidly, having established Official Examination Centres not only in the capital City of Quito, but also in several other regions of the country. The main reason why candidates choose Anglia is that Anglia Examinations are recognised by the national Ministry of Education.
Each year, we offer our various centres and members throughout the country two main paper-based exam sessions at the end of the school year in the two different regions (February and June), and online exam sessions every month, throughout the country. The paper-based exams take place at official Anglia Examinations centres, whereas the newly launched online exams can be taken either from exam centres or from the comfort of the candidates’ homes.
Many students and teachers from Ecuador are interested in joining our programme to study at Chichester College, where Anglia headquarters are located.
Through meetings with school heads and coordinators we are constantly seeking out new Anglia members to spread the network in the country.
