Test Center Locations

To find a Pearson VUE testing center, visit the Test Center Search page.

In addition, if you live more than 55 miles (~ 90 km) from a Pearson VUE testing facility, you can request a test center closer to your location. Please note, requesting a new test center does not guarantee an additional site will be opened because many testing locations do not meet the rigorous security standards of the F5 program.  

To request a new Pearson VUE test center, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Education Services Portal.
2. Under Forms, select Test Center Additions.
3. Download and complete the form.
4. Send the form to support@cert.f5.com.

Note: It can take up to 30 days to authorize and open a new test center.
