I agree with Shirley,
Normally the sports federation that the child is competing for should be able to help.
Friends, whose children have been away during exams because they are competing at International trampolining events have been help by British Gymnastics to either take their tests locally or
even been invigilated by appointed BG staff.

Subject: Re: CANDIDATES BEING TRANSFERRED TO A CENTRE OUTSIDE THE UK
I usually put finding a centre that will take a transferred candidate to the student or student’s parents. We have a student who will be at a training camp for the commonwealth games, so I have given instructions to the parent and they are going to talk to the team coach and administrators. I’m sure that national teams come across this fairly frequently and should have the contacts to help make it happen.
Those students that are actually in the forces and get posted are much easily sorted, we have had students take exams in the Falkland’s, Germany and on a submarine!

Subject: CANDIDATES BEING TRANSFERRED TO A CENTRE OUTSIDE THE UK
Good morning all.
Has anybody had any experience of transferring a candidate from own centre to one in Johannesburg? We have a student who is part of the England World Cup netball squad and will be away for three of her exams. Just spoken to WJEC and have been informed that it will be our (my) responsibility to find a suitable centre out there for her to sit. Can’t say it’s always run of the mill in this job.
