TCF: Test de connaissance du français

The TCF is a test which has been designed to evaluate candidates’skills in French as a foreign language. It is open to candidates of all ages and nationalities and does not require any specific training.

The TCF is a multiple-choice test comprising 80 items. It is composed of three compulsory sub tests:
      - listening;
      - command of grammatical structures;
      - reading

These sub tests are electronically marked at the CIEP. Total duration of the compulsory sub tests: 1 hour 30 minutes
In addition, candidates may also take 2 additional sub tests in written and spoken French. Total duration of the optional sub tests: 2 hours

A candidate’s TCF score determines his/ her level on a scale defined by the Council of Europe. The score obtained reliably reflects a candidate’s knowledge of the French language.
The candidates will receive a certificate of their TCF results 2 weeks after the test.

In certain cases, succesful TCF candidates may go on to directly sit the 2nd stage DELF or DALF examination.

A reliable instrument: TCF was designed by a team of experts from the CIEP (Centre international d’études pédagogiques).. Designed to facilitate international exchange and professional mobility, the TCF is geared towards foreign learners of French who are looking for a simple and reliable means of having their French language skills officially recognized.
