The TCF is given at specific centres in France and in the rest of the world on certain dates each year. In Chamonix the test is organised each April. The test is optional and not included in our ordinary course program. The structure of the TCF test is similar as the English equivalent TOEFL and is a good "extra" proof of your language skills if you plan to work in France, in a French speaking country or with an international organisation. The price is approximately 75€.

The European credit transfer system (ECTS) is a method that is used to compare the marks given in education across the European Union. One academic year corresponds to 60 ECTS credits in all countries irrespective of standard or qualification type and is used to facilitate transfer and progression throughout the EU. The ECTS system also has a multi-grade scale as a complement to the different countries' individual grade scale.
