2. Enter your place of residence or the place where you would like to take the test
   
3. Select your time zone: For e.g. Great Britain or Ireland enter BT (British Time). für e.g. Germany, Austria, Switzerland or other European countries enter CET.
   

You will then be shown appointments and you can choose above whether you want to take the test in a test center or at home (online).

Important:

We advise you to complete the test in a test center, as customers have often reported technical difficulties with the Home Edition in the past. If the test cannot be completed, the test fee paid will not be refunded. In the test center, on the other hand, the technology is made available to you and help is provided in the event of problems.
