ASSESSMENT OF PROFICIENCY

Should the French language be a requirement in your company, you may have your employees’ level assessed through the TCF (French Language Knowledge of French).
Designed to facilitate international exchange and professional mobility, the TCF test is geared towards foreign learners of French who wish to obtain a simple, effective and precise evaluation of their general language skills. This test is organised by the CIEP, a public sector agency which is also responsible for the DELF and DALF diplomas. The Alliance Française de Melbourne is the only examination centre for the TCF in Victoria.
At your request, we can provide you with an individual progress report for your employees attending the course (additional fee applies).
