⚖️ Test arrangements:
Candidates with special needs (extra time, etc.) must notify us before the registration deadline, providing a medical certificate attesting to their disability with recommendations from their doctor for adjustments to be made to the foreign language exams.
This certificate and its translation (if it is in a foreign language) can be sent to us in the registration form or by email to inscription@alliance-bordeaux.org.
