It is a computer-based test operated by Prometric Test Centre. There is only one authorized examination centre in Poland and this is in Warsaw. Each test starts with a 15 minute computer tutorial. Students receive an examination score report immediately after the end of their exam.

In addition, participants will have many opportunities to test their knowledge through sample questions to ensure that they can apply both their knowledge and examination techniques.
