Ready for the real exam?
When you pass the mock exam again and again, it's time for the real thing. Here's how:
- 1Find an exam
The Danish Agency for Digital Government keeps the official list of upcoming exams. Local clubs often add them to the EDR calendar too.
- 2Sign up in good time
You sign up with MitID at the agency at least 14 days before. After that, the exam disappears from the list.
- 3Pay the exam fee
The agency charges a fee when you sign up.
- 4Anyone can take it
You don't need to be an EDR member to take the exam at a local club.
Dates, venues and fees change, so always check the agency's page.
