Certification Costs and Exam Vouchers

The costs for certification are not included in the training fee. Through Symbol, you can easily arrange theoretical and practical certifications as a supplement to your training.

Many participants choose to arrange certification through Symbol because the costs can then be invoiced together with the training. This eliminates the need to pay separately through an external examination organisation. Would you like to request an exam voucher or arrange practical certification? Please contact us or mention this when registering for a training course.

Resits are possible at the same rate as the original exam.

A certification process does not always have to be successful on the first attempt. If you do not pass the exam, it is possible to take a resit. The same fee applies to a resit as to the original exam.
