Payment methods
The up-to-date fees can be found here.
We accept Visa and Mastercard payments.
Alternatively you can also choose to have your employer invoiced for exam entry fees.
Employer invoices
If you choose to have your employer invoiced, please ensure your employment details are up-to-date under My Profile in the Portal before entering, as this will enable us to provide the correct invoice details for any entries you make.
An invoice is usually issued within one month of entering. During peak periods this may take longer. If your employer has not yet received the invoice; this will not affect your exam entry.
