Why Take the TEF Exam?
TEF is an added benefit for anyone who wants to study in France. It must be taken during the first-year enrolment of the study.
It is also one of the requirements of economic immigration to Canada, as required by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
The TEF is recognized internationally by employers and universities in France, Canada, Francophone countries, and other parts of the globe.
DELF/DALF Vs. TEF/TEFaQ/TCF/TCFQ
The main difference between these two types is that the latter is one single test where your score will determine the number of points awarded for French proficiency.
For the DELF/DALF exams in India, you can choose a level A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 as per your proficiency level, and if you pass the exam, you are awarded the points and diploma for that level.
The TCFQ (TCF for Quebec) and TEFaQ (Test for Evaluating French for Access to Quebec) certificate is only valid for your immigration application in Quebec (Canada).
It is the only French examination accepted for the Quebec Federal Skilled Worker Program.
This French certification cannot be used for admission to a French university or any Universities in French-speaking nations.
Unlike the TEF and the TCF, the validity of the DALF never expires.
Since both TEF and TEFaQ results are valid for two years from the date, you took the test, thus, it is not very beneficial from the careers involving French and job prospects outside France and Canada.
