Cancellation

If you request a cancellation of your IELTS Test more than 5 weeks before the test date you will be refunded the test fee minus a local administrative charge of €60.-. If you want to cancel less than 5 weeks before the Test Day, you will be charged the full Test Fee. To cancel your test date, please complete our Transfer/Refund Form and e-mail it to IELTS@britishcouncil.at.

We would be grateful if you could let us know in advance that you will not be attending, so there will be no inconvenience for the other candidates.

It is not possible to postpone your IELTS Test less than 5 weeks before the test day. If you do not take the test on the set date, the full Test Fee will be retained and you would have to make a new registration for a later date, including a new payment.To change your test date, please use our Transfer/Refund Form and e-mail it to IELTS@britishcouncil.at together with a payment confirmation.

If we have not received the required documentation by the fifth working day after the test, you will be marked as absent and forfeit all claims. Copies sent by fax or e-mail are not accepted.
