Once you have sat your exam, the natural next question is when your result will arrive and how. Here is what to expect, with one honest point up front: we do not mark the exams ourselves, so we cannot promise a date. The exam bodies mark the exams and issue the results.
telc results
Your certificate is sent to you by email, from telc. We do not mark telc exams, so we cannot say exactly when your result will be ready.
fide results
Your language passport is sent to you by post, from fide. The same applies: we do not mark it, so we cannot promise a date.
Planning around a deadline
Because the timing is set by the exam bodies and not by us, the safest approach with a fixed deadline, such as a permit or a job start date, is to sit your exam as early as you comfortably can, so there is room for the result to arrive. We will help you plan your exam date and preparation with that in mind.
Common questions
Who decides when my result is ready?
The exam bodies mark the exams and issue the results. We do not mark them, so we cannot promise a date.
How is my telc result sent?
Your certificate is sent to you by email, from telc.
How is my fide result sent?
Your language passport is sent to you by post, from fide.
Can you promise an exact date?
No. Because we do not mark the exams, we cannot guarantee a date. Sitting your exam early leaves room for the result to arrive before a deadline.
