Two examination sessions a year are organized by the Service de police du commerce et de lutte contre le travail au noir (PCTN), the competent authority for all decisions relating to the organization, conduct and supervision of these examinations.
Course registration does not include exam registration. Candidates must therefore register for the exam independently of their course registration, and the fee is CHF 500.00.
Examinations are computerized and written in French only.
