Language competitive examinations

The information on this page is for candidates whose application to take a given LCE has already been accepted and who have been assigned an application number.

Locating your assigned test centre

You will be assigned a test centre on the basis of the information provided in the profile section of your application unless you are doing a remote LCE. Have the application number you were given in your acceptance notice ready. Select the LCE to which you have applied from the menu. The test centres for that LCE will appear in a new window below. Scroll through them to find the one you have been assigned (the application numbers of invited candidates are listed under each test centre).

Select an examination:

Should you need to change your assigned centre (for example, because you have moved to another city or country), please contact the Examinations and Tests Section at ohrmlce@un.org.
