New Horizons is the only place afaik.

Apparently Calyx, MoreSoft IT and varies others have discontinued providing Prometric exams for the public although I heard that you can sit Prometric exams in DCU now (although I'm not 100% sure on that).

There are a few places that do VUE exams (IACT being one of them) but they are €30 more expensive and always seem to be booked out months in advance :rolleyes:

If you do go compiling a list, please keep it in the Certification - What, When and Where sticky at the top of this forum.

There is nothing more easy than becoming an approved testing center with Prometric. Plus it is free. Plus some editors give you extra money directly (Cisco?) per certification taken...

I really do not understand why there was 6 two years ago, and today only one in dublin ? Plus the companies who used to do that, are still up...

Basically the reason that there are very few testing centres are because the only reason to have them is so that you can give your students preferential test dates.

You have to pay for the computers, the internet connection and teh secured environment, plus an exam administrator and you get back only a very nominal fee per exam taken (I think its around 5 or 10 euro per exam)
