Registration
You register online from delfdalf.ch, choosing your regional centre. Your personal exam programme — with the addresses of the papers, which are not always held in the same building — arrives by email at least two weeks before the first paper; the programme and the results are only sent electronically, hence the advice to give a private email address.
