About the TCF exam

 

The TCF exam was designed by the French Ministry of Education to provide official certification of your level of French. It is recognised by the French public authorities when applying for a residency permit or for French nationality. The test thoroughly assesses your written and oral skills, and determines your level on the basis of the score you obtain.

How can I prepare for the TCF?

The TCF consists of a series of well-defined tests that you can prepare for. Extracts from news reports or conversations to listen to for the listening comprehension section, correct phrasing to identify for the grammar section, articles and excerpts from works to read for the reading comprehension section, personal or opinion writing for the speaking and writing sections. To get the best possible training for these tests and achieve a high score, consider the private lessons offered by KLF Group schools.

For what purposes is your TCF score useful?

The TCF IRN is required of all foreigners over the age of 16 for all immigration and integration procedures. TCF level A1 can be used as part of the OFII citizenship programme. TCF level A2 is required to apply for a long-term residency permit. TCF level B1 is required for French nationality applications.
