About the EXAM and TESTING CENTERS
Sa testing center they will give you an instructions for the test and may lockers for safekeeping of your personal belongings.
In my experience I took Nurse Specialist unknowingly because my agency didn't advise me that it is OK if the category is Nurse Technician. Somehow I survived and passed. The testing center will issue you your passing score with attestation (dry seal at the bottom and signed by the Proctor) in a bond paper. This will serve as a proof that you took your licensing exam and passed and accordingly when you arrive in Saudi Arabia the HR of your employer will endorse such to Saudi Council of Health Specialties and will issue you a license(similar to that of PRC card daw).I haven't got an experience to secure one yet because I just retook the exam. My Saudi Council exam was way back 2000 and it is only a certification in Arabic but was lost with my previous employer, thus my agency advise me to retake. What a relief in my part... a burden unloaded so I can just be concentrating in my work when I arrive. Also better to take the exam here aside that the fee is cheaper which is 90U$ compared when in Saudi that costs 850SAR, it is convenient to secure a definite date to schedule your exams. In the year 2006, with my last employer I worked with, they tried to sit me for the exam mid of 2006 December noon available date of exam for me and my colleagues. if your HR is unorganized schedule exam because documents better obtain your exam. Foremost, I clarified with my agency if my employer will refund my testing fee...it is the applicant's responsibility to pay for the testing fees and license when obtaining in Saudi, the HR of our employer will just facilitate the issuance through SCHS(other employer do it as salary deduction which is more costly). Hope this info helps. Good luck to all RNs bound to work in Saudi Arabia.

SCH are in need for pharmacists in these days as they have asked for pharmacist in more than a news paper in some countries out Qatar, you can follow those steps as I mentioned or if you are in Doha pay them a visit in the C ring road opposite to Regency Travel before the the signal and the tunnel on the same side of Ramada when your direction is toward the tunnel.
you go there in the 4th floor in HR and ask for Lolwa Al-Obaidi the HR manager there and you can discuss further and as I remember the Pharmacies department was in the 2nd floor, you can pass by them also and discuss.
The prometric based exam is to work in SCH pharmacies and the privates also but Hamad Medical Center are having different procedures.
