Actually I think these new 'enhanced centers' of Prometric will go away in
these countries as well, as per the pearson website:
http://www.vue.com/cisco/faq/centers.html
"Prometric was recently given an exclusive in China, India & Pakistan by
Ciscowhy the sudden switch to Pearson VUE as its primary global
vendor?
The exclusive vendor pilot in China, India and Pakistan raised some
important concerns about security, service, etc. After evaluating that
experience, Cisco decided that Pearson VUE was best positioned to help Cisco
achieve its longterm goals related to enhanced security and global
reach. Testing
at Pearson VUE will resume in these countries when the pilot ends in July."
