DSV Test Centre

For several years, the former Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (now the Department of Veterinary Sciences) has operated its own Test Centre, affiliated with the University and accredited by AICA, to carry out certification activities.

The Test Centre, already certified for ECDL certifications, continues its activities within the SAI Project, targeting all University of Pisa students who need to acquire basic IT skills.

The Test Center is located at the Department of Veterinary Sciences, Viale delle Piagge 2, 56124 Pisa, and the exam sessions take place in the computer room on the ground floor of the Management building.
