Regarding exam appointments
Reservations for exams and payment of examination fees can be made by the company representative.
You can perform this action from "Operation: Proxy CBT Exam Reservations" in Candidate Management on the Corporate My Page.

You can only reserve one exam at a time for the same exam. You cannot make multiple reservations at the same time.
When re-booking, please make your reservation after the exam date has passed.
