Use our online booking platform to book session exams. These exams take place during our March, June, September and December exam sessions and you can enter for them as long as you have no other fees outstanding.
From March 2026 we are withdrawing the availability of remote session exams. These will now only be available in countries where we do not have exam centre provision. For more guidance and support on the withdrawal of remotely invigilated exams, please visit our frequently asked questions page
Due to the nature of computer based exams, on very rare occasions exams can be impacted by technical issues. Should your exam be disrupted in any way, we will make every effort to minimise the disruption.
On-demand exams
On-demand exams are booked directly with our exam partners. Use the exam availability and booking table to search for your location and book your on-demand exam.

Session exam fees and booking deadlines
Each exam session has a standard and a late booking deadline with associated exam fees in place during each entry period. We strongly recommended booking during the standard entry period to pay the lowest exam fees.
