Healthcare Professions Test Registration 2026

When students start thinking about the Healthcare Professions admission test in English, the first real obstacle is rarely studying. It is understanding how the registration actually works. Every year, the same doubts come up: where to register, when applications open, how much the test costs, which documents are required, and what happens after the results are published.

In this guide, we walk through the entire registration process, step by step, focusing only on what students need to do. We rely on the most recent official framework available and explain how the system works in practice, using clear language and real procedures. The goal is to help anyone preparing for this test know exactly what to expect, avoid mistakes, and approach the exam with clarity instead of stress.

Official reference framework

The information in this guide is based on the most recent official ministerial and university documents currently available. For the 2026 admission cycle, no new national decree has been published yet, so the reference framework remains the same as the previous academic year. The procedures described here follow the official rules that universities are required to apply when managing registration and admission.

How registration for the test works

Registration for the Healthcare Professions admission test in English is not handled through a single national platform. The overall structure is defined at ministerial level, but the actual registration always takes place through the university offering the course.

This means that each student must:

• identify the university offering Healthcare Professions courses taught in English,
• wait for that university to publish its official admission call,
• complete the application exclusively through the university’s online system.

The application is individual, binding, and generally cannot be changed once submitted.

When applications open and key deadlines

For 2026, official national dates have not yet been published. This is explicitly stated in the available documents. The exact timeline will only be confirmed once the new ministerial notice is released.

Looking at the most recent complete cycle, the structure was as follows:

• the test took place in early September,
• university application windows opened in August,
• registration periods typically lasted between 15 and 20 days.

For 2026, the same sequence is expected. First, the national test date will be announced. Then, each university will publish its own call with precise opening and closing dates for registration.

Where to register and how the procedure works

Registration is carried out exclusively online through:

• the student portal of the chosen university,
• any additional platforms explicitly indicated in the admission call.

It is not possible to register through the Ministry. The ministerial website only publishes the regulatory framework, not the applications.

For students from non-European Union countries residing abroad, an additional pre-enrolment procedure may be required through a dedicated platform, as specified by the university.

The registration process generally includes:

• creating an online account,
• entering personal and educational data,
• selecting course preferences,
• paying the registration fee,
• confirming the application.

Registration fee and payment methods

There is no single national fee. The cost of registering for the test is set by each university.

In the most recent admission cycle, the fee was 50 euros, non-refundable. For 2026, the exact amount has not yet been published, but the structure remains the same.

Payment is:

• mandatory to validate the application,
• completed through the university’s payment system,
• required before the deadline, with no exceptions.

Failing to pay the fee on time means the application is considered invalid, even if all other steps were completed correctly.

Required documents during registration

During the test registration phase, students are not usually required to upload extensive documentation. However, all information entered must be accurate and truthful.

Depending on individual circumstances, the following may be required:

• a valid identity document,
• details of the secondary school qualification,
• medical certification for disabilities or Specific Learning Disorders,
• documentation related to foreign qualifications.

Requests for accommodations must be submitted within strict deadlines, using the formats specified by the university. Late submissions are not accepted.

Choosing the test location and date

The test date is not chosen by the student. It is set at national level and is the same for all candidates.

The test location corresponds to the university where the student registers. Some universities may offer multiple teaching sites, which can be selected as preferences during application.

The order of preferences:

• is binding,
• cannot be changed after submission,
• is used to assign places in the ranking.

Common mistakes to avoid during registration

Official admission calls clearly outline errors that lead to exclusion. The most frequent ones include:

• late payment of the registration fee,
• incorrect or false data entry,
• failure to confirm the application,
• late requests for accommodations,
• careless selection of course preferences.

Many students lose the chance to sit the test not because of preparation, but because of avoidable procedural errors.

Modifying or cancelling the application

Once the application is confirmed, it usually cannot be modified.

The registration fee is not refundable, and cancelling the application does not allow changes or recovery of the payment.

Corrections are only possible before final confirmation, and only within the application window set by the university.

From admission result to enrolment

After the test, each university publishes its official ranking list. From that moment, students have a very short time window to enrol.

Being admitted does not automatically mean being enrolled. To secure the place, students must:

• complete online enrolment,
• pay the first tuition instalment,
• upload all required documents,
• strictly respect the deadlines.

Missing the enrolment deadline results in automatic forfeiture of the assigned place.

Enrolment documents and reasons for losing the place

During enrolment, universities require more complete documentation, such as:

• identity document,
• tax identification number,
• secondary school diploma,
• validated foreign qualifications if applicable,
• any additional certifications required by the course.

Failure to submit even one required document, or uploading it after the deadline, leads to permanent loss of the admission place.

Costs after admission

After admission, students must pay university tuition fees, which vary by institution.

Using the most recent official data as a reference:

• the first instalment was 156 euros,
• it included the regional student support tax and stamp duty,
• it was mandatory for all enrolled students.

Subsequent fees depend on the Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator, which must be submitted by the stated deadline to avoid being charged the maximum amount.

Universities and regional bodies publish scholarships and fee reductions through separate official calls.

Preparing with clarity and structure

Understanding how registration works changes the entire approach to the admission test. When deadlines, rules, and consequences are clear, preparation becomes more focused and less stressful.

This is the same logic behind using TestBuddy during preparation: simulations, progress tracking, and structured feedback help students concentrate on improving performance, while the administrative side remains under control.
