In response to the challenge of COVID-19, all TEG written exams which were scheduled to take place in July and August 2020 have been postponed.
B1 and B2 Exams: The B1 and B2 oral exams (Partial Accreditation) will be held online.
C1 Exam: All sections of the C1 exam have been postponed until December 2020. Dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
All candidates who had already registered for the full B1 and B2 exams in July and August have now been contacted directly and given the following options:
(i) postponing their exam to a later date; or
(ii) taking the oral exam online; or
(iii) having their exam fee refunded.
Please note that candidates who have not already done so can still register for Partial Accreditation (oral exam only) at B1 and B2 levels in 2020. See dates below.
All updates relating to our exam schedule will be available here and on Facebook and Twitter.
