		When will I receive my results?

We will issue your certificate two weeks after your test.

The British Council Tanzania offers an Online Results service. Candidates are able to access their results online two weeks after the test date. Unfortunately results cannot be given over the phone, by fax or e-mail, and we are only allowed to give one certificate to each student.

Candidates residing in Dar es Salaam region will be required to pick up their certificates in person instead of receiving them by post unless they request us to send them via post. Candidates residing outside Dar es Salaam region will have their certificates sent by post.

In addition to the certificate given to the candidate, candidates can request on their application forms (Section 24), that up to 5 copies of the results be sent to receiving institutions (academic institutions ONLY). These will be sent at no extra charge but by normal post. If you wish to send by express mail you will be responsible for the charges.
