Why take the TCF ? (Test of knowledge of French)
The TCF is a Ministry of Education standardised and calibrated level test, developed by the CIEP. Il est conçu selon une méthodologie extrêmement rigoureuse qui en fait un véritable instrument de mesure. It situates candidates on one of the 6 levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and is a recognised certificate for application for French citizenship (B1 level required)
