How to register
Registration (tilmelding) is not handled centrally — you sign up directly with an authorised exam holder (prøveafholder) before the deadline:
- If you study at a language school (sprogskole), your school is usually your exam holder and will guide you through registration.
- If you self-study, contact a local sprogskole or authorised exam centre to register as a self-funded candidate.
- Register well before the deadline — places can fill up, and late registration is generally not possible.
