What the exam really costs
There is no national rate for the examen civique. Each approved centre sets its own price. In practice, a session comes to around €70–90, a little more in big cities.
| Item | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Exam session (per attempt) | €70–90 | Paid to the approved centre at registration |
| New attempt | €70–90 | Same rate, no discount — every sitting is paid for |
| Preparation | €0 | The official questions are free at the ministry |
Two prices not to confuse
There are two quite different things, and it is worth telling them apart before you pay:
- The exam price — around €70–90 per session, paid directly to the centre (CCI or FEI) when you register. See our page Registration.
- The price of our practice — this is a separate service, with its own price, detailed on our page Pricing. We never sell access to the questions: they are free at the ministry.
The most expensive thing is failing
Since there is no reduced rate for retaking the exam, each failure costs the price of a session again. The cheapest strategy is to pass on the first try — and that is a matter of preparation, not luck.
