Step 3: Select the exam level (DELE A2) and your preferred session date. Step 4: Review results — center name, address, contact details, and available dates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Practical tip: if your first-choice city is usually full, register in a backup city on the same date and plan travel early. For many candidates, a reliable seat in a nearby region is better than waiting for the next session in a crowded center. Keep your booking strategy flexible and verify center-specific instructions as soon as confirmation arrives.
When comparing centres, weigh exam-day logistics: parking, public transport reliability, morning traffic, and whether the building is easy to find. A centre with slightly higher fees but simpler access can be cheaper overall than a “cheaper” seat that adds stress and lateness risk.
