Exam Policies

Candidates must comply with all E.B.E. ORL-HNS regulations:

    • Eligibility: Only trainees in recognized ORL-HNS programs or certified specialists may apply.
    • Exam Rules: Strict conduct rules apply during written and oral exams.
    • Special Accommodations: Requests for reasonable adjustments or special accommodations must be submitted to the Examination Office well in advance of the examination date.

 Cancellation Policy – Important information for all candidates:

Candidates who register for an E.B.E. ORL-HNS examination are expected to attend the examination. As the number of places is limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis, late cancellations or non-attendance may prevent other eligible candidates from participating.

The following cancellation policy applies:

      • Notification received at least 30 days before the examination:
        An administrative fee of EUR 300 will be charged. The remaining examination fee will be credited towards the candidate’s next examination registration.
      • Notification received less than 30 days before the examination:
        The full examination fee will be forfeited. No refund or credit will be provided.

Candidates who register but fail to attend the examination without prior notification may adversely affect the fairness and equal opportunity of the examination process.
