Test Registration
For the steps you need to take to make a Test Registration, please see our how to register for Cambridge English Qualification online page. The online registration process allows you to check and amend errors before submitting your Exam Registration to  Zwiers Language & Exam Centre. Please take the time to read and check your Exam Registration at each page of the online registration process. You may not register more than once for the same Cambridge English Qualification session. After you make your Test Registration, Zwiers Language & Exam Centre will confirm its acceptance to you in the form of an email from the relevant test centre of your enrolment on the relevant Cambridge English Qualification session (“Cambridge English Language Assessment Exam Confirmation”). The contract between you and Zwiers Language & Exam Centre will only be formed when you are sent the Cambridge English Language Assessment Exam Confirmation. The contract between you and Zwiers Language & Exam Centre is formed in the English language.
Zwiers Language & Exam Centre reserves the right not to accept Exam Registrations after the registration period for the relevant Cambridge English Qualification session has closed.

Fees
The price of your Exam Registration will be quoted on Zwiers Language & Exam Centre’s Online Registration System and includes VAT (where applicable). Fees may change from time to time, but this will not affect any Exam Registration which has been confirmed by an Enrolment Confirmation. Payment for your Exam Registration will need to be made in advance through Zwiers Language & Exam Centre’s Online Registration System or another available payment method. The registration will not be confirmed until the registration fee has been paid. The candidate may not register more than once for the same exam session.
Zwiers Language & Exam Centre reserves the right not to accept registrations after the established deadline. Zwiers Language & Exam Centre also reserves the right to cancel an exam if a minimum number of 10 candidates is not reached. In this case, exam fees will be refunded.

1. Conditions of refunds
A refund of the examination fee is possible only under the following conditions:
1.1. if a refund request is submitted no later than 14 calendar days from the date you receive the Exam Application Summary and Payment Confirmation email as a consequence of the right of withdrawal established under the law, to which candidates registering online are entitled and which should be exercised in accordance to point 2.1.Such right of withdrawal expires after the mentioned 14 calendar days,
1.2. if a refund request is submitted before close of registration but after 14 working days from the date you receive the Exam Confirmation email,
1.3. if absence during the examination occurred on medical grounds or due to specific family circumstances.
2. Required documents:
2.1. In the case of refunds described in points 1.1. and 1.2. you or the person/institution that submitted the fee on your behalf, should email Zwiers Language & Exam Centre exam centre by the stated deadline with a request for a refund including your name, date of birth, the exam you registered for (including date and location) and reference number.
2.2. In the case of absence described in point 1.3 you or the person/institution that submitted the fee on your behalf, should email a medical certificate to Zwiers Language & Exam Centre exam centre by the stated deadline. The medical certificate should indicate the dates when you were indisposed. Zwiers Language & Exam Centre is aware of the fact that Dutch medical practitioners are not always allowed to give out a statement regarding a patient’s condition. These practitioners can provide the patient with a note explaining why Dutch law no longer allows them to share this information with third parties. In this case the refund request needs to be supported by a similar note which needs to include the name and signature of a recognised practitioner and the date on which the document was issued. In the case of family circumstances the exam centre will also request a form of proof; more information will be provided on this as soon as the exam centre has received the e-mail with the refund request. Cambridge Assessment English will ultimately decide to approve or reject the withdrawal request; Zwiers Language & Exam Centre has no say in this.
2.3. The documents mentioned should be submitted to Zwiers Language & Exam Centre exam centre where you were registered for the exam not later than two weeks after the written test you were registered for.
3. The amount and form of refund:
If you are entitled to a refund, the refunded money will be returned in the same way as you originally paid.
You or the person/institution that submitted the fee on your behalf is entitled to an entire or partial refund under the conditions stated below:
3.1. In the case described in point 1.1. a refund of 100% of the submitted fee.
3.2 In the case described in point 1.2 and 1.3 candidates receive a partial refund of the exam fee. An administration fee of €30.00 will be charged for all Cambridge Assessment English exams except for YLE Starters/Movers/Flyers, TKT, and BULATS.
Refunds will be made within 14 days of the receipt of the full set of correctly completed documentation.

It is not possible to choose or change the Speaking test date; it is the candidate‘s responsibility to check the Speaking dates and avoid clashes with other commitments. If a candidate registers for a computer based exam, we guarantee that the Speaking component will be held on the same day as the Written components.
