  • Partial retake C1

    You have the option of a partial retake for C1. This means that if you only passed one of the two parts of the examination, you can retake part of the examination separately: SPEAKING (oral examination) or READING, LISTENING, WRITING (written examination). Please note that any partial retake of the examination must be taken within one year at the same examination centre. At our centre this is still possible until the examination on 27 July 2024.

  • Participants with special needs

    As we have a limited number of rooms and staff for our examinations, candidates with special needs can only be accepted for the sessions in March, April and May. If you have any questions, please contact the secretariat.
