ENROLMENT FOR THE TCF EXAMS ON 22ND JUNE IS NOW OPEN. ENROLMENT FOR THIS SESSION WILL CLOSE ON 31ST MAY AT 16:00.

The Language Centre is accredited by the Centre international d'études pédagogiques (CIEP) to offer the Test de connaissance du français (TCF).

The TCF is the French language test awarded by the French Ministry of Education. It assesses a person’s level of French language for general purposes.

It is intended for people who are not native French speakers and who, for professional, personal or academic reasons, wish to have their competency in French assessed and certified simply, reliably and quickly.

The TCF is a standard graded test designed by the CIEP, a language tester and member of ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe), based on an extremely rigorous method that makes it a valid means of assessing language skills.

All candidates receive a certificate of results that grades them at one of six levels (from A1 to C2) on the competency scale defined by the Council of Europe (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). This means that it is not possible to fail the TCF.

We offer the following versions of the TCF:

- TCF for the general public for anybody who wants to have their French language skills assessed for personal or professional reasons. Find detailed information at : CIEP TCF

- TCF Quebec for people submitting applications to immigrate to Quebec to provide proof of their level of competency in French. Find detailed information at : CIEP TCF Quebec

Please see here for information on dates and fees for the sessions.

If you wish to enrol for one of these tests, please contact the Language Centre reception either by telephone on (024) 7652 3462 or by email at language.enquiries@warwick.ac.uk.
