You can find the relevant form here on this page, as well as the applicable dates and deadlines for registration on the FFA homepage. Please note that various documents must be attached to the application (§ 8 Abs. 4 of the UNIcert® Training and Examination Regulations) and, where applicable, a declaration must be made as to whether the examination has been failed previously or definitively. Please refer to the form for details.

In accordance with the decision of the UNIcert® Examination Board, no supporting documents within the meaning of Section § 8 Abs. 4 Nr. 2 of the UNIcert Training and Examination Regulations (certificates of regular and successful attendance at the individual courses) need to be attached for any examination session. We already have the necessary information on file.

Yes. In accordance with § 12 Abs. 1 of the UNIcert® Examination and Examination Regulations (2017), you may withdraw from the examination electronically via the FFA email address no later than one week before the relevant examination date. To do so, please send an email to ffa@jura.uni-bonn.de.

What should I do if, unexpectedly, I am unable to sit the exam for a valid reason (e.g. illness)?

In accordance with § 12 Abs. 3 of the UNIcert® Training and Examination Regulations (2017), you may withdraw from the examination even after the withdrawal deadline has passed. Please notify the UNIcert® Examination Board of your withdrawal in writing without delay. You may do so by email (preferred) to ffa@jura.uni-bonn.de. The reasons given for withdrawal or for a failure to attend must be substantiated in writing without delay. To prove that you were unable to sit the examination due to illness, you must submit a medical certificate confirming your inability to sit the examination.

What happens if I fall ill during the exam?

In accordance with § 12 Abs. 3 of the UNIcert® Regulations for Training and Examinations (2017), you may withdraw from the examination even after it has begun. Please consult a doctor on the same day to confirm that you are unfit to sit the examination. Please note: In individual cases, the UNIcert® Examination Board may require the submission of a medical certificate from a university medical officer if there are sufficient factual grounds to assume that the candidate is likely to be fit to sit the examination or if other evidence appears appropriate. Withdrawal after the start of the examination is generally not permitted, particularly if the candidate has already been able to view the examination tasks or has gained knowledge of them by other means. If the UNIcert® Examination Board accepts the evidence of withdrawal due to illness or other valid reasons, the examination attempt shall be deemed not to have taken place.
