FAQ:
- Deadlines are set globally for all certifications. We cannot register a student after the due date since the system will not allow it.
- Registered persons will receive an exam notification once all registrations are closed. There is no need to contact us before that date since we need to wait for the final list to send out notifications.
- Plan ahead: if you are late for the exam, we won't be able to accomodate you or reimburse the exam fees.
- Exams are in person only.
- DELF/DALF Candidates results can be up to a one-month wait. The diplomas arrive three months later.
