Candidates are eligible for a Free Resit if they achieve the level they applied for (or higher) in one of the two parts of the exam (Spoken or Written Exam), but do not achieve the level they applied for in the other part of the exam, so that the average of the two parts does not result in a certificate of the level they applied for.

These candidates are eligible for a free resit on the part of the exam they failed.

Eligibility period: Candidates who take the exam:

• from 1/1 to 31/8 are entitled to one FREE resit until 31/12 of the same year.
• from 1/9 to 31/12 are entitled to one FREE resit until 31/7 of the following year.

If the candidate does not make use of the free resit offer within the above deadlines, then the eligibility ceases and the certificate is issued at the level achieved in the first examination.

Certificate issuance: For candidates eligible for free resit, a certificate/result statement will not be issued until the deadline of the entitlement. If a candidate requests a certificate/result statement before the resit, then the entitlement to resit will cease and the certificate/result statement will be issued with the result of the first examination.

Clarifications

• The free resit of one part of the exam (Spoken or Written Exam) is considered a new exam and does not take into account the subjects in which the candidate was assessed in his/her first exam. The candidate should prepare accordingly for the part to be retaken.
• Candidates with additional needs who are entitled to a free resit of their Written Exam will be charged the cost of the scribe (40€).
