Questions and answers

If I cannot attend the CILS exam, can I get a refund or change the date?

CILS does not publish rules on refunds or date changes: you register and pay at the exam centre, so the centre sets the conditions. Tell it as soon as possible and ask to move to the next session.

You register with the exam centre and follow its instructions, so it is the centre that decides what happens if you do not attend. This is our assessment.

B1 Cittadinanza runs six sessions a year (in 2027: 18 February, 8 April, 10 June, 22 July, 21 October and 2 December), so the next one is never far away.

Mind the deadlines: for example, registration for 2 December 2027 closes on 23 October.

Note: there is no complete official rule on this. Anything beyond the sources listed is our own assessment; the exam centre or the competent office decides.
