If you have already applied for the September 2023 IBCLC examination administration, we are providing you additional information about test centre locations. This page will be updated until the examination begins in September to keep you informed.
Test Centre Global Network
Through IBLCE’s testing vendor, IBCLC examination candidates have access to one of the largest global testing networks. To see locations of testing centres, visit the Prometric website to search for your preferred location. Scheduling an appointment at a testing location will take place in July/August for the September 2023 examination. Prometric also provides information related to test centre closings.
Additional “Pop-up Site” Locations
For regional or geographic areas where there is no test centre or there is limited test centre capacity, contingent upon IBCLC candidate volume, we work to facilitate additional locations known as “Pop-up Sites.”
Based on trends in recent candidate data, below is a list of Pop-up Sites that IBLCE has requested for the September 2023 examination. Please note: it is possible that one or more of these sites may not ultimately be available. If available, they also may not accept scheduling until late July or August.
Please note that these options are for 2023 examination candidates.
