I understand that the ÖSD - examination center will not issue any further reminder regarding the examination date and time, unless changed by the center for a valid reason. If the examination is postponed by the examination center due to force majeure (pandemic, storm, etc.), the examination will be rescheduled as soon as the obstacle no longer exists. The new exam date will be communicated in good time. I understand that I have no right to a desired date and that the examination fee will not be reimbursed if I do not take the examination.
I understand that I will be charged the full test fee if I cancel or postpone my test.
I certify that the information provided on the electronic or paper form is complete, true and accurate.

I understand that I am required to present my valid original passport, national ID or NBI clearance as proof of identification on the exam day and when I claim my test results or certificate.

To document the oral performances, all oral examinations are recorded on phonograms. The recordings as well as the written examination documents are kept under lock for up to five years and then deleted or professionally disposed of after the agreed deadline. The exam results of all exam participants are recorded electronically and archived as far as necessary.
The examination center and the ÖSD head office are entitled to store the personal data and examination results of the examination participants, process them electronically and send them to relevant bodies such as public authorities etc. In addition, upon request of public authorities, ÖSD headquarters may confirm or refute the authenticity of the ÖSD certificate in the case of justified suspicion of forgery of an ÖSD certificate.
In order to obtain a full certificate, the individual modules must be taken at the same examination center. In the case of partial examinations, examiners must provide a copy of the certificate of the already passed parts.
