Pearson VUE test centres
Pearson VUE has a network of secured test centres in EBU member countries. Placement in a centre outside Europe is based on availability.
During the online registration the candidate registers the preferred city for taking the exam. The aim is to have candidates take the exam in, or as close as possible to the preferred city. Placement in test centres located in Austria, Switzerland, Turkey and Hungary is reserved for national exam candidates.
After receiving final information from the EBU the candidate books the exam through the Pearson VUE website; either the online exam or the onsite exam in one of the available test centres.

The candidate must be registered with names as stated in passport/ID. Access to the exam can only be guaranteed when the candidate’s registration matches the passport/ID presented.
