As of October 2023 the Belgian IT Academy Support Center will facilitate member institutions in proctoring specific Certiport Certification exams.
For the purpose of proctoring, a trusted person from the BiASC organization will visit your academy in order for your students to take the certification exam locally.
When registering for a certification exam, the candidate will pay the exam fee to Certiport.
For proctoring the only expenses that will be taken into account by BiASC is the cost for travelling to the exam location. The normal travel cost will be 30 euros for BiASC members.
In the academic year 2023-2024 no other costs will be invoiced to exam participants.
Please contact Yvan Rooseleer <[email protected]> for more information.
