ESHRE Certification Platform
Welcome to the ESHRE Certification Platform.
The ESHRE Certification programmes aim to certify competence and to develop a formal recognition for MAR professionals.
ESHRE has decided to work with a new software-partner from 2025 for the online exam - assessmentQ and with ProctorExam for the proctoring part during the online exam. As a result, the application process, pre-application requirements, application period and exam date will change from 2025.

Embryologists
(UPDATE 03/12/2024)
!!! NEW IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ESHRE EMBRYOLOGY CERTIFICATION !!! Application process for the 2025 Embryology exam (basic & advanced level) has changed !!! Check below the new procedure and exam dates for 2025 !!!
Below are the most important changes in a nutshell:
The online application process will now consist of 2 separate processes:
Process 1: Academic qualification validation process
The Embryology Certification Steering Committee requires an independent recognition of university diplomas/degrees. Therefore, all applicants will first need to have their highest academic diploma/degree validated by NUFFIC (the Dutch organisation for international cooperation in higher education, https://www.nuffic.nl/en/subjects/diploma/education-systems).
The academic qualification validation process is available throughout the year. So, you will be able to do this when it suits you best. Only NUFFIC validated diplomas/degrees will be allowed for the exam. The academic qualification validation process will be coordinated by ESHRE and will be available from 06/12/2024.
After having submitted your diploma/degree validation, you’ll receive a payment link for the academic qualification validation fee. Through ESHRE, you enjoy a very advantageous rate: 50€ (excl. VAT).
Once the fee is paid, ESHRE will send your request for academic qualification validation including the uploaded diploma/degree to NUFFIC. This fee includes only 1 round of diploma/degree validation. It is therefore very important that you upload all required documents before submitting your validation request. Incomplete validation requests which prevent Nuffic from validating an academic qualification will lead to a new validation request for which another 50€ (excl. VAT) will have to be paid.
Please note:
Only after your academic qualification validation has been completed and accepted, you will be able to proceed to the second part: Application process.
Process 2: Application process
This part consists of completing and submitting your online application for the corresponding exam level. After submission of your application, you’ll receive a payment link for the application fee: 150€ (excl. VAT).
Only fully completed and correctly submitted applications, for which the exam fee has been received, will be reviewed by the Embryology Certification Steering Committee. As soon as your application is accepted, this will be communicated via the application platform only. Please note that the paid fee is non-refundable under any circumstances.
Please note that our Rules & Requirements are under review. Once these are ready, we will put the new edition on the webpage.
