YKI fees and cancellation rules: check before booking
A useful test budget includes more than the registration fee. Before paying, check the test level, the skills offered on that date and the journey to the centre. Keep the official registration confirmation rather than relying on a saved screenshot of an old article.
Published fees
OPH lists €190 for the full intermediate test. Where selected Finnish or Swedish intermediate subtests are offered, listening and reading each cost €43, speaking €84 and writing €70. Availability is a separate question: a price list does not mean that every combination is offered on every date.
Rescheduling and refunds
Paid registration is binding. The registration rules applying from 1 January 2026 do not allow changing the day, centre, level, language or subtests.
For a fee refund, OPH requires all three conditions: your own illness prevents participation and you have evidence from a health professional; you cancel by 08.00 on test day; and you send the application within two weeks after the test day. Read the official application instructions. Do not assume that another scheduling difficulty qualifies.
Make a comparison you can use
For a writing-and-listening option, the listed subtest fees add up to €113. Write that beside the full intermediate fee, then add your own travel and accommodation estimates in a separate column. Next, check whether the offered skills meet your actual certificate goal. A cheaper booking is not useful if it omits a skill you need.
Before submitting payment, read the centre and date back to yourself from the confirmation screen. Put the date in your calendar and save the payment deadline. If someone else pays for you, agree who will check that payment was completed.
