Candidates may be examined in English, French, German, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Scandinavian or Turkish languages provided there is sufficient demand. To qualify to sit the Part II examination, candidates must meet the criteria for entry as defined on p. 7 of the Diploma Guide (this guide is available here).

It is important to note that once validated by the Board of Examiners during the call-over, results are final and cannot be altered. You will receive your results on the day of your examination. Should you wish to have further information about your results, we invite you to refer to our EDAIC Part II feedback and complaint regulations.

Most EDAIC Part II 2026 examinations will take place online.
The online Mon 30 November and Tue 1 December 2026 exam will be organized with Brazilian time.
7 centres will be organized face-to-face: Ankara*, Porto, Uppsala*, Frankfurt, Erlangen, Istanbul and Cairo.
*For Ankara and Uppsala, candidates will need to be present in the examination centre. However, examiners will be connected to candidates remotely via Zoom.
We strongly recommend candidates requiring visas to register for an online examination.
Please note that a limited number of seats has been allocated to each of the Part II languages i.e. English, French, German, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Scandinavian, Spanish and Turkish. Once the number of seats in a language is sold out, it will no longer be possible to register for that language. For each language, this number was set based on the availability of EDAIC examiners and the cohort of candidates, taking into consideration the maximum number of seats available ; it can therefore not be increased upon request.
- Change of centre: if you must change your centre before the registration deadline, your registration will have to be cancelled and the €50 handling fee will apply (see cancellation policy); you will then have to register online again before the registration deadline and the ESAIC cannot guarantee the availability of seats in other centres. No change of centre is allowed after the registration deadline.
- Change of language: if you must change your examination language before the registration deadline, your registration will have to be cancelled and the €50 handling fee will apply (see cancellation policy); you will then have to register online again before the registration deadline and the ESAIC cannot guarantee the availability of seats in other languages. No change of the examination language is allowed after the registration deadline.
- In order to avoid fully booked centres, please make sure to register early, in particular if your examination language is not English. Centres which are fully booked cannot be overbooked.

The copy of your specialist diploma must be written in its original language. In case your diploma is not written in one of the languages used in the EDAIC Part I or EDAIC Part II examinations, you also need to upload a certified English translation of your diploma.

- Cancellation – Refund – Postponement
Please see our policy (item 6). Cancellations at EDAIC Part II have a serious impact on the organisation of the exam. If you cannot attend your examination for any reason, we urge you to inform the ESAIC office as early as possible so that we can take all appropriate actions for the smooth running of the examination. - Visas: each candidate taking the examination abroad is responsible for having a valid passport. This is why applications for a visa should be handled at the same time as the registration for the examination. Refund requests for refused visas will not be accepted by ESAIC.
- COVID-19 measures for face-to-face examinations (if applicable): each candidate is responsible for complying with the measures related to COVID-19 enforced by the local authorities competent for each face-to-face EDAIC Part II examination.
