The TFI test
The TFI test provides teachers with an effective measure of a student’s ability to communicate in a French-speaking business environment.
The TFI™ test (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. Students wanting to work in various countries, and aiming to demonstrate a skill in multiple languages, can use the reliable and valid TFI certification to achieve their objectives.
As a teacher training your students to work in an international environment, you can insist on the TFI test as a graduation requirement, and have students certify their level of French.
Contact an ETS Middle East consultant to find out how we can help you integrate the TFI within your curriculum.

“Before the introduction of the TFI test, students at our centre would study for a regional university diploma. But because trainees and students are looking for a validation and certification on a worldwide basis I have chosen the Test de Français International. More than 120 foreign students registered in exchange programmes will take the test next month. Open test sessions also take place regularly throughout the year.
Marie THIBAULT, Head of French as a Foreign Language Department, Centre universitaire CUEEP Lille, France
“The TFI test is an excellent evaluation tool that we use for the same reason we use the TOEIC test. We receive students who come to us to learn both French and English at the same time. At a certain point in their time with us, we encourage them to take the two tests to give them a clear idea of their levels in English and French. The scores obtained encourage them to push ahead with their courses to reach for the next level, but also to choose the language that they wish to use in their work or university studies”.
