Why sit TCF exam?

For several reasons:

  • personal reasons: this test assesses your knowledge of French (oral and written comprehension and expression) with a view to subsequent improvement; it is a linguistic snapshot of your level of French at the time of sitting the test;
  • professional reasons: it provides objective information which candidates can put forward when applying for a job or promotion;
  • academic reasons: according to international standards, it is a reliable assessment of language skills which can be taken into consideration for admission to higher education establishments (universities, grandes écoles, art colleges, architectural colleges, business schools…).
