NTB registration, published NOK charges and a remote-booking availability check.
Reviewed October 5, 2026. Independent guide, Confirm your selected provider offer
Member board and booking route
Norwegian Testing Board (NTB). NTB publishes a registration route for independent candidates and a separate remote-exam page describing GASQ delivery. That remote page also carries a notice about registration arrangements being updated, so confirm that the route is currently open before relying on it.
Published fees in Norway
NTB’s price page lists Foundation at NOK 2,400, Specialist at NOK 2,900 and Advanced at NOK 3,500. It does not clearly state a complete tax-inclusive payable total for the selected booking. Confirm the applicable price, tax treatment and any arranged-session minimum with NTB. Do not apply these figures automatically to a separate provider offer. Official fee source.
When you compare offers for Norway, our exam cost guide shows which charges to include.
Local booking and delivery checks
Ask NTB about a current public appointment or an arranged session. For remote delivery, get written confirmation of the active registration route and current technical instructions. The published remote page alone does not confirm availability.
- Check the NOK invoice total and tax treatment for your chosen route.
- An individually arranged session may have a minimum group charge. Ask whether that applies before requesting a private date.
- Use the current certification rules for scoring and version details rather than older examples in the board’s FAQ.
Language and adjustments
Confirm Norwegian or English availability for the particular certification. Do not assume every Advanced exam has the same language options as CTFL. Ask for approved additional time and adjustments before registering.
Before you book
Before you pay in Norway, check eligibility, voucher expiry, appointment confirmation and ID requirements. Match your preparation to the version on your booking for Norway.
Changes and retakes
NTB’s remote-exam page carries its own registration notice, so read the cancellation and retake terms for the route you choose before you book.
Results and certificates
Use the examination body named on your Norway confirmation for results, certificate access and name corrections. Turnaround times vary by provider, and we have not verified one for every Norway route.
