Official snapshot

This table is a dated summary. The live primary page, candidate portal and personal invitation control if a date, price, score or assessment instruction changes.

Four dates, three bookings

October 17, 22, 26 and 29 do not describe four interchangeable complete exams. Udine and IH Milan list their own digital sessions, while the University of Milan separates Speaking on October 26 from its October 29 digital papers.

Udine route

ELC Udine closes registration October 1, charges EUR 280.50 and gives October 9 to 11 as the oral window for its October 17 computer date. The centre's link and availability control registration.

Milan routes

IH Milan lists October 22 at EUR 299. The University of Milan publishes an open call for October 26 plus 29 and allows both internal and external candidates, subject to its application notice.

Why there is an October C2 date

Cambridge paper calendars have fewer fixed C2 days, while authorised centres can organise digital sessions. Candidates should not conclude there is no October C2 opportunity from the global paper calendar alone.

Result and certificate timing

The University of Milan states results normally arrive five to ten working days after the test and paper certificates reach its SLAM centre about fourteen working days after the exam week. Other centres can communicate differently.

Which route to choose

Choose by open registration, complete Speaking timetable, venue and receiver deadline. A cheaper session can become more expensive when travel or a second day is added.

How to read a live exam calendar

An exam body's global date, a centre's activated session and a candidate's personal timetable are three different records. The global calendar permits a centre to run a paper session. The centre decides whether to activate it, sets registration and price, and can schedule Speaking on another day. The Confirmation of Entry controls the candidate's final venue and time.

Book from an authorised centre, not a preparation school that merely teaches the qualification. Save the order confirmation and check whether Speaking is inside a date window. A closed paper deadline does not automatically mean the month is lost because a digital centre can publish a later entry cutoff.

Booking and result planning

Work backward from the date the receiving organisation needs a verifiable result. Add the centre's result window, time for score delivery, travel, identification correction and a buffer for a moved session. A test date that falls before an application deadline can still be too late when results arrive afterward.

Use this booking sequence:

1. Confirm the exact qualification and delivery mode accepted by the receiving body.
2. Open the authorised centre page and record written, Speaking and closing dates.
3. Check fee, refund and transfer conditions before payment.
4. Enter identity exactly as it appears on the accepted document.
5. Preserve the Confirmation of Entry and reopen the centre account before travel.

Availability and prices in this guide are a dated snapshot. The live provider page wins if anything changes.

Final verification before acting

Create a dated record of the exact page, route and requirement you used. Save the title, update date, relevant table and confirmation number without treating a screenshot as a substitute for official submission. Reopen the source shortly before the deadline because centre inventory, admissions policy, regulator standards and employer stages can all change.

Use the strictest current instruction when two official pages appear inconsistent, then ask the organisation in writing which rule applies to your route. Do not resolve a conflict by averaging scores, combining test sittings or copying a rule from another programme. Keep application evidence, payment receipts and portal confirmations outside the provider account so access problems do not erase the audit trail.

The safest plan leaves time for one correction cycle. Identity mismatches, provider verification, translation, technical checks and reasonable adjustment requests all take longer when discovered on the final day. A calendar reminder one week before each action creates a useful buffer without inventing an earlier legal deadline.

Communication practice and product boundary

SpeakShark is for general English conversation and feedback. It does not issue the certificate, approve professional registration, decide university admission or reproduce a company's protected live assessment. It cannot replace official samples, a candidate invitation or a regulator's evidence.

Build general communication with daily speaking practice, adult conversation topics, pronunciation work, office small talk, professional presentations, and job interview role plays. Use speaking and writing practice, conversation app comparisons, a free speaking baseline, fear reduction drills, phone English, a 30 day plan, and stop translating drills according to the communication task.

Use free daily speaking practice to build clearer unrehearsed answers, review SpeakShark pricing, and return to the official organisation for every application-specific step. A product estimate must never be presented as a formal score or employer outcome.

How we researched this guide

On August 28, 2026, we opened the current primary pages listed below and compared their dates, product names, delivery modes, scores, exemptions and deadlines. Where a live inventory was dynamic, we read the rendered page through the existing authenticated Chrome profile rather than reconstructing unavailable dates from memory.

We separated issuer rules from receiver rules, application from registration, and public process summaries from personal invitations. We did not use private SpeakShark customer data and did not copy protected test or employer assessment questions.

We are a speaking improvement tool. We are not an exam preparation provider, and we are not affiliated with Cambridge English, Italian exam centres or any exam board or any exam board. For test format, booking and official practice material, go to the exam body directly. Use SpeakShark to make your spoken English stronger, and use official material to learn the test. For admissions, professional registration and hiring instructions, use the responsible official organisation.

FAQ

Current centre listings include October 17 in Udine, October 22 through IH Milan, and a University of Milan session with Speaking on October 26 and the other digital papers on October 29. Confirm seats directly with the selected centre. Check the current primary page before submitting evidence, paying a fee or starting a live assessment.

ELC Udine lists October 1 as the deadline for its October 17 computer session. It also publishes October 9 to 11 as the oral window, so the candidate must be available before the main test date. Check the current primary page before submitting evidence, paying a fee or starting a live assessment.

The Udine snapshot is EUR 280.50 and IH Milan lists EUR 299. The University of Milan uses its own call and participation fee. Cambridge centres set local prices, so no one figure should be presented as Italy's national fee. Check the current primary page before submitting evidence, paying a fee or starting a live assessment.

The university states that registration is open to internal and external users. Candidates must follow the published call, payment and capacity rules. A university centre listing is not automatic enrolment for every person who sees the date. Check the current primary page before submitting evidence, paying a fee or starting a live assessment.

The University of Milan separates the Speaking component from the remaining digital papers scheduled October 29. Cambridge centres can assign Speaking before or after the written components, and the candidate confirmation controls the final personal timetable. Check the current primary page before submitting evidence, paying a fee or starting a live assessment.

The University of Milan says results are normally available five to ten working days after the exam and paper certificates arrive later. Use the selected centre's result instructions because another digital provider can publish a different release estimate. Check the current primary page before submitting evidence, paying a fee or starting a live assessment.

For general spoken English, start free daily practice. Premium costs $10 for one month, $25 for three months, or $69 for one year. See pricing.
