ECAP and telc cannot provide any information about results by telephone.

If only one part of the exam is passed (written or oral), that part is valid for one year. During this time, the part that was not passed must be successfully completed for the exam to be considered complete.

To register, please print the registration form, fill it out completely, sign it, and send it back. The registration must be received by ECAP by the registration deadline. Registration is also possible in person at the ECAP secretariat until August 14, 2026.

We recommend familiarizing yourself with the test format before the exam and, if necessary, taking a model test.
