TCF: DAP
Dear candidates,
Thank you very much for your interest in taking the exam or a certification at Alliance Française of Washington DC.
Seats for exams will be limited to 5 persons per exam session.
Please, look at the exam calendar for any upcoming exam sessions. Make sure you choose the correct exam when you register. If you have a question about which exam to take, please email Jessy at: certifications@francedc.org Each exam has strict opening and closing registration deadlines (check each specific exam section).
Diploma and/or exam certificates must be picked up in person, upon presentation of a valid, government-issued, ID.
Should an exam session be cancelled for inclement weather, technical problem with the platform during the exam, sickness , act of God, or any other circumstance beyond our control, the AFDC cannot be held responsible for any personal arrangements made by the candidate (transport, accommodation, etc.).
The CCIP (for the TEF) and the FEI (for the TCF and Delf-Dalf) will not refund the candidate for a missed session, nor reimburse any personal expenses engaged to come and take the exam, even if this latter is canceled for any reason whatsoever. This is why, based upon unfortunate pre-pandemic experience, we have decided not to accept any longer candidates who live further away than 75 miles away from Washington DC.

The Test de connaissance du français (TCF), designed by the Centre International d’Études Pédagogiques (CIEP) and accredited by the French Ministry of Education, is a French language proficiency test for non-native speakers who need their level of proficiency certified. Alliance Francaise de Washington now only offers the TCF-DAP (TCF pour la demande d'admission préalable) which is for those applying as a first-year undergraduate student (L1) at a French university or a French school of architecture. Note that the AFDC uses the paper and electronic version of this exam.
