TEF IRN or TCF IRN? Both work, choose by date and place đź“Ť
Both the TEF IRN and the TCF IRN are accepted as proof of French level for residence cards and naturalisation, and both attestations are valid for 2 years. Préfectures do not prefer one over the other. What people actually decide on: · Session dates: pick the test with the nearest centre and the first useful date. · Timing: TEF IRN takes 90 minutes, TCF IRN about 1 h 35 at the centre described below. · Speaking: TEF has two 5-minute speaking parts, TCF has three tasks in about 10 minutes. Some learners prefer one style after trying sample tasks. · Price: set by each centre. Compare two or three centres; the Hérault préfecture mentions a range of roughly 100 to 200 euros for these tests. One thing not to do: take both in the same week 'to be sure'. Prepare well for one, then retake only if needed. And if you plan several steps over many years, also consider a DELF, which has no expiry.
