The TCF Tout Public
The TCF Tout Public is an official French language certification recognised in academic, professional and personal contexts.
The TCF Tout Public is an official French test intended for people aged 16 and over whose mother tongue is not French. It certifies your level of French for academic, professional or personal purposes.
At KLF, you can book your session in Annecy, Bordeaux, Lyon, Toulouse and Montpellier.
TCF Tout Public: for which projects?
Intended for anyone aged 16 or over whose mother tongue is not French, the TCF Tout Public is the reference certification for officially assessing language skills.
Whether you are a student seeking university admission, an employee wishing to enhance your professional profile, or simply someone who wants to validate your personal level, this exam adapts to your academic and career objectives. It provides formal recognition of your command of French, whatever your status.
Higher education
Professional project
It allows you to prove your level of French to an employer, an organisation or as part of a professional project.
General level assessment
Personal project
The TCF Tout Public can also be taken for personal reasons, to precisely identify your level of French.
The TCF Tout Public offers a flexible format made up of a common core of three compulsory tests — listening comprehension, command of language structures and reading comprehension — to which two optional complementary tests can be added: oral expression and written expression.
This flexibility allows you to adapt the exam to the specific requirements of your application: you can choose a test focused on reception skills or opt for a full assessment of your command of French by including the production tests.
| Test | Status | Duration | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listening comprehension | Compulsory | 25 min | Multiple-choice questions |
| Command of language structures | Compulsory | 20 min | Multiple-choice questions |
| Reading comprehension | Compulsory | 45 min | Multiple-choice questions |
| Oral expression | Optional | 12 min | Interview with an examiner |
| Written expression | Optional | 60 min | 3 written tasks |
