A standard test to assess your level in French<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The French Knowledge Test (Test de connaissance du fran\u00e7ais or TCF) assesses your skills in written and oral expression as well as comprehension if your mother tongue is not French. In other words, it is a “snapshot” of your level in French, which allows you to certify to companies and universities that you have acquired a certain level of mastery of the language.<\/p>\n

The TCF is a standardized test that ensures reliable positioning of all candidates on a scale composed of six levels of knowledge, ranging from “elementary” (A1) to “advanced\/superior” (C2). The exception being the TCF<\/a> for the French resident card which assesses skills up to level B1.<\/p>\n
