What people are saying about the TFI test: “Since French is the number two foreign language in our company, one of our aims is to be able to assess the level of our staff’s oral and written French reliably and correctly. Thanks to the TFI test, we have achieved that goal, and the test has encouraged our staff to improve their level.” Erdogan GÜNES, Head of Recruiting – Training

“The TFI test gives us an immediate snapshot of the level of French students on our courses. It is an objective method of determining proficiency at the beginning and end of training. Test sessions can be arranged on demand and are easy to set up. This enables us to monitor and measure each learner’s progress. We are also better equipped to advise learners on which direction to take when continuing their studies, according to their individual ability. The TFI test also gives prospective employers precise information on the ability of a job applicant. Another thing we like about the TFI test is the fact that it is a proficiency test and not an achievement exam, which means that teachers will not be using their lessons as simple examination preparation classes. They can therefore concentrate all their efforts into helping their students acquire the necessary competence to enable them to cope in the business environment.” Dominique VAN BOGAERT, Director of Studies
