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.

>> The TCF-DAP is offered at the beginning of the year
and its cost is $130
