Test de Connaissance de Français: TCF



The TCF exams assess your level of French proficiency, with results valid for two years. Unlike the DELF/DALF exams, you are assigned a level based on your score.

AF Denver currently offers three TCF exam options. Please note that we are limited in how much guidance we can provide regarding which exam is best suited to your needs. If you are taking the TCF for a specific purpose (such as immigration or academic studies), we recommend consulting with your advisor or the relevant institution before registering

For more information regarding the exam, please visit our FAQ section. For immigration inquiries, please visit the IRCC website.
