How this centre releases seats

Live seat counter
The centre lists each date with the seats left, and seats can appear at any time when dates are added or someone cancels.

Tips from candidates and the centre

  • The exam venue (15 rue Al Madina, behind Lycée Hassan II) is different from the registration and payment desk (1 rue Abou Inane, by the Place Al Joulane tram stop). Go by the address on your convocation.
  • The desk opens Tuesday to Saturday, 9:00–17:00 according to the certifications page. The institute is closed on Mondays.
  • Look for dates and remaining seats on the Rabat booking pages. The Institut français du Maroc’s 2026 leaflet does not list them.
  • Cancelling does not get you a refund. You can only move to another session while registration for that session is still open.
