Step 1: Creating a Pearson VUE web account

To get started, you enter your name, and your email address.  Your email address is crucial.  If it doesn't work, you won't be able to book a test.


Create Account screen 1


When you click 'Continue' on the screen above you will be taken to the following screen, which asks you for an address and telephone number.  You can also enter a second address and telephone number.


Create Account screen 2


When you click ‘Continue’ on the screen above you will be taken to a further screen, which asks for some extra information about you and how you heard about the Pearson VUE assessment service.


Create Account screen 3


When you click 'Continue' on the screen above, you will be taken to the screen pictured below.  Here, you choose a username for logging back in to your web account.  Choose something memorable and/or make a note of it.  You will need it when you come to book your test sitting.


Create Account screen 4


When you click 'Continue' on the screen above, you will go to the final 'Confirmation' screen pictured below.  This tells you to expect an email shortly, containing your password.  In the rare case in which something was amiss about your registration (e.g. a web account already existed matching your details), you will instead see a screen telling you that your registration is being checked by a Pearson VUE agent before a password is issued.


Confirm Account screen


At this stage, assuming that you gave a valid email address, you should expect your Pearson VUE account password by email.  It should arrive within a very short time and, at the very latest, within 48 hours.  If it does not seem to have arrived, please check your junk-mail or 'spam' folder.  You are very likely to find the password message languishing there.  If it really hasn't arrived, please contact Pearson VUE.

Armed with your Pearson VUE account username and password, you are now ready to book a test and make a payment.
