How can I contact the organiser with any questions?

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

It is not necessary.

Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends?

The ticket is not transferable. If you want to send someone different to the event then please contact the organisations to check whether this is OK. Since the candidate has to go through the workbook before attending to take an assessment, then enough time has to be available for a replacement to do their learning.
