There should be no disturbances such as phone calls and people entering the room. Books, helpful hints or notes are not allowed in the room.

The application blocks the opening of any other function on your computer during the exam. This is necessary to comply with the exam regulations.
When will I receive my result/certificate?
You will receive a result email immediately after the exam. If you are successful you will receive your e-certificate!
