Voucher Store Customers

Please send an email to the Pearson VUE Voucher Store with your company name and proof of exemption. Pearson VUE will confirm once the system has been configured for your company to be exempt.

NOTE: Any orders placed prior to your company being marked as exempt will be subject to GST.

Test Center Administrators

There are no changes to the test center statement.

When a candidate registers with Pearson VUE’s contact centre or Pearson VUE’s website, Pearson VUE emails the candidate a payment confirmation.

When the candidate registers for an exam with the Test Center AND VUE Credit Terms are used as the payment method, Pearson VUE does not send the candidate a payment receipt. Instead, the test center administrator should do this.

When the candidate registers for an exam with the Test Center AND a credit card is used Pearson VUE emails the candidate a payment confirmation. If the payment was made using a Test Center business credit card, please make sure that the Billing Information is correct on the order payment screen. The default can be to the candidates address, but can be changed as needed.
