NineInchSnail,
as far as I'm aware you do need to be registered with a school in order to take the exams (though please correct if wrong)
You might want to have a look at

and

Im with CATS just now and at my brush up there were quite a few guys with licences from abroad who had only enrolled in order to sit the exams, would recommend calling one of the schools who im sure would be happy to put you in the right direction!
Hope this helps
C
