As soon as CBT centre appointment registration is available, you will be notified via email. This
information cannot be provided to you prior to registration opening. In addition, scheduling an
appointment will be based on the availability of seats at your preferred location.
The majority of exam candidates will take the exam at a computer-based testing (CBT) centre. There
are some locations around the world where there are not sufficient CBT centres to accommodate
IBLCE exam candidates. In those cases, IBLCE will provide paper and pencil exam sites.
With regard to paper and pencil exam sites, location information will be sent to candidates several
weeks prior to the examination date.
Dates for the exam administration can be found on the Key Dates page of the IBLCE website.
Please note: Contacting IBLCE staff about exam site locations or CBT appointments and test
centre locations will not give you any additional information than is already available to you on the
IBLCE website. Checking the Certify/Application Information page of the IBLCE website will provide
you with the most current information about CBT centre appointments and locations and/or paper
and pencil locations.
