I took the A2 exam on Saturday. On Monday, I was informed that I had passed and that my results had been forwarded to LBA. On Wednesday, I received confirmation from LBA – I paid €30, and everything is all set. Thank you all. P.S. Studying on the platform is also very easy.

The e-learning course was great. The exam, on the other hand, didn't go smoothly at first: [...] After several attempts to restart the system, the online exam finally ran without any problems. As promised, I received the certificate from the LBA two business days later.
