Pearson VUE test centres
Pearson VUE has a network of secured test centres in EBU member countries.
During the online registration the candidate registers the preferred country and city for taking the exam. The aim is to have candidates take the exam in, or as close as possible to the preferred city.
After receiving final information from the EBU the candidate either books the OnVUE, or onsite exam in one of the available test centres, through the Pearson VUE website.
Register with names as stated in your passport/ID
The candidate must be registered with names as stated in passport/ID. Access to the Pearson VUE test centre can only be guaranteed when the candidate’s registration matches the passport/ID presented.
- Register names as stated in your passport/ID.
- Indicate the preferred country and city for taking the exam.
- Upload the requested document.
- Select the preferred payment method, credit card or bank transfer.
- Finish the registration and receive an automated confirmation of registration.
If the application meets the criteria the candidate will receive a confirmation of participation by email.
Should the application be rejected the cancellation is confirmed by email.
Before the end of September the candidate will receive an email from the EBU with a link to the Pearson VUE website. This includes
instructions on how to book the exam with Pearson VUE.
The candidate follows the instructions provided in the Pearson VUE exam booking confirmation and takes the exam at the assigned time, either at a test centre or via OnVUE.
The results will be available in our examination management system Examfolio. About 3 weeks after the exam, the candidates and national associations (as applicable) receive an email from Examfolio (info@examfolio.com).
