Also, please note that credit card approval must be obtained for the full amount including VAT tax for all candidates in Brussels, even if you have a valid VAT number.
Your account, however, will not be charged the tax amount once your VAT number is verified.

Price Change Insight
A bit more background on these recent price changes.
One, for most of these areas we haven't had a price adjustment since 1999.
Two, these price adjustments are being implemented to allow Cisco to make changes to the certification program. Examples of these improvements include new certifications available in more countries and locations across the globe, more frequent updates to certification exams, increased exam localization, improved exam security, and enhanced online services and program scalability. These are all items are customers and patners have told us they'd like to see made to the program.
