NICET Exams

NICET deeply regrets that the Covid-19 pandemic has forced Pearson VUE to take these drastic measures; but we understand and agree with their decision to shut down their testing centers as a means to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees and the testing public they serve.  We have every confidence that Pearson VUE will reopen their testing centers as soon as safely possible; and NICET will be prepared to schedule candidates for testing when these testing centers reopen. 

In the meantime, NICET will automatically extend all candidate testing windows until December 31, 2020; and will allow candidates to reschedule their tests to a later date without any additional fees as soon as we receive word from Pearson VUE that their testing centers are reopened.  考生如不愿意更改考试时间，可要求退还已缴付的考试费用.  如有关于重新安排考试时间或要求退款的问题，请致电NICET 1-或发送电子邮件 test@vjencanjadigitalis.com – and provide your name, email address and NICET ID.
