It is not possible to schedule your September IBCLC examination yet. IBLCE will start sending Examination Authorisation Emails for the September 2021 IBCLC examination in July. After you receive your authorisation email, you can then schedule your examination for the broadened examination window: September 8 – 24, 2021.
