Hi, I took the test last Feb, and I got my course on May 2013, so it was about 3 months waiting. Some of my classmates waited for longer than that. So it depends.

Don't worry about it too much, it will come, but if you do want it quickly, suggest you contact TE office and ask

A friend has been waiting 7 months and lives in Vantaa which means Helsinki's queue for level 2 is at least that long. No point asking, it's summer when less courses begin and they will tell you when you need to attend. While you wait, I suggest you find your own course, ask TE for permission to attend, and pay for it yourself.

That is indeed good idea. While I was waiting for the course, I found courses from www.ilmonet.fi, which helped a lot
