To register for the TOLD, register on the Politecnico di Milano’s Online Services.

For each test date, you can see in real time the dates, test times, remaining available places and time periods where you can register. In each window you can only sign up for one of the scheduled dates.
Before booking the journey to come and sit the TOLD in person, make sure that your registration is successful, as you may not find available places for the date you have chosen.
If there are no more available places on the test you want to register for, don't worry: you can use the same payment for any other test date.
If you sign up for a test and do not show up, you will be considered absent and the test will be considered equivalent to taking it for the purposes of repeatability.
If you are an Italian student with an foreign qualification, you must follow the same enrolment procedure as Italian students: in addition, however, you will have to submit some additional documents to the International Students Office.
