Walk through the process in their instructions. If you can't find a UK test center, that's your answer.

I wouldn't really pursue the certification itself that hard. The knowledge is valuable, but there's really no market demand for the certification in any country. Wireshark is well known, but the certification is not. I'm not sure it's even worth the price of the exam.

I did walk through the ordering the exam and you can sit it via the web as long as you have a webcam but the time you can select are only US times.

In that case, my only advice to you is to go with coffee over tea if and when you sit the exam.

Like I said, I really don't think you're going to see any career value from passing the certification. Study it for fun and knowledge, but I wouldn't waste my money, especially for a certification not even aimed at my country.

I would'nt be wasting my money as I would'nt be spending mine and I'd like to take the exam if I do all the studying it helps reinforce my learning and gives me something to aim for.

Then by all means take the exam. It's actually not that difficult, but it's one of those skills you have to continuously use or it'll rust out quick.
