TEF Exam Priority Access: Skip the Line!

By registering for a TEF workshop, you may have the opportunity to reserve a spot for an upcoming TEF exam organized by Alliance Française Vancouver.

How it works:

Participants in this workshop receive priority access to selected TEF exam spots: you skip the line!
Exam dates are assigned by Alliance Française and cannot be chosen by candidates.
The exam will take place after the end of the workshop (exact date disclosed in the workshop description).
If a spot is reserved for you, you will have one week to confirm your participation and complete the exam payment. Not transferrable.
Reserved spots that are not confirmed and paid within the deadline will be released to other candidates.

Important:
Admission to the workshop is subject to prerequisites. Candidates who do not meet the required level or prerequisites will not be able to participate in the workshop or benefit from the priority access to TEF exam spots.

By registering to the exam, you accept the general policies of Alliance Française Vancouver.

'Written & Oral' indicates that all four exam components (reading, listening, writing, and speaking) take place on the same day.
Opening multiple tabs or repeatedly refreshing the page may cancel your reservation and prevent successful registration.
Tip: Log in to your account in advance and have your passport number ready before registration opens.
