Orlando Edwards, Country Director British Council, Dominic Hudson – Exams Director British Council Sri Lanka and Maldives, and Priyanka Mukherjee; Senior Manager- International Business and Product Solutions for Cambridge University Press and Assessment were the distinguished invitees. Over 350 participants from across the country and the Maldives attended the event.

The British Council has a long and proud history of delivering Cambridge English exams across the world, helping to maintain the reputation and recognition of these qualifications.  In Sri Lanka, the British Council has been working closely with Cambridge Assessment English for over 34 years, ensuring secure, fair and reliable delivery of exams. The British Council in Sri Lanka achieved the esteemed Platinum Centre status in 2024, making it the first Cambridge English Authorised Centre in the South Asia region to receive this prestigious recognition.

British Council is the first Cambridge English Authorised centre in Sri Lanka and is the market leader for Cambridge English qualifications. To-date over 250 registration centres in Sri Lanka and Maldives prepare candidates for Cambridge English exams. Partners are spread across the nine provinces in Sri Lanka and in three atolls in the Maldives.

Dominic Hudson, Exams Director British Council Sri Lanka and Maldives said: “British Council recorded its highest Cambridge English exam volumes in the current financial year 2024-25. This was possible due to the significant volume contributed by our registration centres. We will continue to support our registration centres to grow their business through teacher training workshops and qualification awareness sessions enabling the British Council to impact the lives of many students who aspire to obtain a UK qualification. Through the registration centres we have also reached out to candidates island wide from the North to the South and East to West.”
