Language schools can use the TFI test to attract individuals and companies to their language training courses.

As a language school you have two main concerns: to attract individuals and companies to your courses and to equip your clients to work in any location in the world. This is where TFI test can help you. The TFI (Test de Français International) is a French language proficiency test for non-native speakers of French. It measures and certifies the French skills of people working in a professional context, from beginner to advanced levels.

Spoken by over 170 million people everyday, French is widely used in international and business communication. In this context, the TFI test becomes an important certification to include on professional CVs. In fact, HR managers in various companies use the TFI test to make relevant recruitment decisions, with companies using TFI scores to define minimum language requirements for specific jobs. The TFI test will hence add value to your business model, and help differentiate you in the marketplace.



You can use the TFI test for:

  • Placement: Use TFI test scores to place students in appropriate classes or levels of French language training.
  • Demonstrating progress: Administer the TFI test twice – at the beginning and again at the end of the course to measure the progress of your students.
  • Evaluating course effectiveness: Again, administer the TFI test multiple times and evaluate the efficacy of your language programme – this can also enhance the credibility of your course in the business community.
  • Motivating learners: Motivate your students to improve their French proficiency.
  • Validating language proficiency: Many language schools offer the TFI test to companies as an external validation tool of language proficiency.
