If you came here for a date to put in your calendar, here is the honest picture. As of 20 July 2026, every 2026 Sproochentest session published on the booking portal of the Institut national des langues Luxembourg (INLL) is sold out: the 24 September date and all the published December dates at the Glacis and Belval centres. The next chance to register is for the January 2027 sessions, and that window opens on Tuesday 1 September 2026 at 10:00.
Last checked: 20 July 2026, against the MyINL portal. Session dates change as the INLL opens new rounds, so this page is re-verified against the portal, and the date above tells you how fresh it is.
Every published 2026 session is sold out. Registration for the January 2027 sessions opens Tuesday 1 September 2026 at 10:00 on MyINL.
What is published right now
| Session | Status on 20 July 2026 |
|---|---|
| 24 September 2026 | Sold out |
| December 2026, all published dates (INLL Glacis and Belval) | Sold out |
| January 2027 sessions | Registration opens Tuesday 1 September 2026 at 10:00 |
The portal does not bury the news. The INLL's own notice reads: "Registrations for the January 2027 sessions of the Sproochentest will open on Tuesday 1st September, 2026 at 10 am."
So the question is no longer which 2026 date you can still grab. It is whether you are ready on the morning the January window opens.
How sessions get announced
The INLL publishes Sproochentest sessions in rounds on MyINL, not as one fixed calendar for the year. A round appears, seats fill, and at some point the portal switches to announcing the next window instead. That is why you can land on the page in July and find nothing bookable: it does not mean the exam has paused, only that the current round is full and the next one has a named opening day.
Each published session is a specific day at a specific centre, and each one fills on its own. What registering inside the window involves, from the MyINL account to the file you send, is covered step by step in how to register for the Sproochentest.
What sold out means in practice
We will not guess how fast each round filled, because the portal does not say. The state of the table is enough: by mid-July, nothing published for 2026 had a seat left. Demand for the exam is running ahead of the seats on offer.
That changes how you should read the word date. The day that matters is not the exam day you would like. It is the day the registration window opens. Miss the window and your preferred exam month is irrelevant; catch it and everything else can be planned calmly around it.
How to be ready on 1 September
The window opens at 10:00 on a Tuesday. Most of the work belongs to the weeks before it:
- Create your MyINL account now, not on the morning itself.
- Gather your file in August: your ID copy, the signed form, and proof of the 75 euro fee. The full document list, the bank details, and the deadline rules live in the registration guide. That guide owns the how; this page owns the when.
- Put two reminders in your phone: one in late August to finish the file, one for Tuesday 1 September at 10:00 to register.
One warning from the 2026 pattern: do not assume a window stays open for as long as you need. Every session the INLL published for 2026 ended up sold out. Treat 10:00 on 1 September as the moment, not as the start of a long, comfortable season.
Count backward from January
Register on 1 September for a January session and you get roughly four months. That is a comfortable runway if you use it, and a stressful one if it quietly shrinks to three weeks of panic. How long you really need depends on where you start; if you want structure, the 4-week study plan is built to sit inside exactly this kind of window.
A calm shape for the months, if you register on day one: spend September getting your mouth used to daily Luxembourgish, even ten minutes out loud. Use October and November for the interview topics and the picture description, the two halves of the speaking. Keep December for weekly mock runs, so January feels like one more rehearsal rather than a premiere.
The exam itself is two parts on one day: a 10-minute speaking test at A2, an interview first and then a picture description, and a 35-minute listening test at B1. No reading, no writing.
And the odds are friendlier than a wall of sold-out banners feels. Most people who sit the exam pass it: the INLL's December 2022 statistics put the rate at 69 percent of those who sat between 2008 and 2022.
While you wait, do the part that needs the time
A seat is solved in one morning. Speaking is not. The candidates who feel calm in January are the ones who spent the autumn saying answers out loud, not the ones who spent July refreshing the portal.
Start where you stand: take a free mock exam this week to see what the speaking actually asks of you. Then set the two reminders, finish your file in August, and be at your keyboard at 10:00 on Tuesday 1 September. Vill Gléck (good luck).
