Cancelling or Rescheduling an Exam

You can only cancel or re-schedule up to 48 hours before the scheduled exam time. Any changes beyond this point will result in exam fees being charged, or your voucher being used.

Using Your Vouchers

Each LIR is entitled to receive three exam vouchers for 2022, valid until 31 December 2022. A voucher consists of an alphanumeric code that you can use to schedule an exam instead of paying exam fees. Each voucher can be used only once. Please make sure you have the voucher code at hand before starting the exam scheduling process.

All LIRs can access their voucher codes through the dashboard in the RIPE NCC Academy.

Video instructions on how to claim your vouchers in the Academy are available here.

If you have any questions about your voucher codes, please contact the exams team.
