Hi Ronald, WHen I took my LPI I it was 360dhs, but the cost has been increased to $150. LPI uses the same testing centres as every other vendor. So whart you need to find is aPrometric or Pearson VUE testing centre. The centres require that you register a week in advance and you need to bring down your ID as well. Test Centres in Dubai are as follows: NEW HORIZONS Business Centre, Bank Street Dubai. THE NETWORK CENTER 101-103 SULTAN BUSINESS CNTR. P.O. BOX 27217 DUBAI, 971 4 3378781 EXECUTRAIN 1ST FLOOR, OFFICE COURT BLDG. OUD METHA ROAD, NEAR AL NASR CLUB / P.O. BOX 26977 DUBAI, 97143374888 I have only taken tests at New Horizons, on Bank Street opposite the Burjaman centre, but the testing centre was pretty quiet, and the people seemed nice. Hope this helps. Dan -- _____________________________________________________________ " They that can give up liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
