The direct answer
ATD’s application page currently states that candidates can select Arabic, English, Traditional Chinese, or Simplified Chinese when scheduling. This information was current when this guide was reviewed on 1 September 2026.
Because exam policies can change, open the current ATD page and candidate handbook before paying or fixing an appointment rather than relying on an old screenshot or training advertisement.
When do you select the language?
ATD explains that candidates first apply and meet the eligibility requirements, then receive approval and authorization to schedule. Language is selected during scheduling, so confirm the option shown in your account before finalizing the appointment.
The exam currently supports testing-center and remote-proctoring routes, but a specific date, language, and delivery combination depends on what the booking system offers at that time.
An Arabic exam does not mean every resource is translated
Keep exam language separate from the language of references and professional terminology. A sound plan retains the English term alongside its Arabic explanation because it may appear in workplace sources or ATD materials even when the exam is taken in Arabic.
Before preparing, review the current exam content outline and then choose resources around your real knowledge gaps and preferred learning style.
