Document

Salut à tous. Je descends à Drummondville vendredi soir, départ vers 18h de la place du marché. Il me reste deux places. Je peux récupérer quelqu'un en chemin, mais seulement si c'est sur ma route : je ne fais pas de détour. Participation aux frais, dix dollars. Répondez ici plutôt qu'en privé, comme ça tout le monde voit ce qui reste.

How it works

What preparation here actually looks like

Three habits behind the live tiers. Self-paced covers the same material, with a model answer for every task to check your own work against.

  • Two people meeting across a desk

    A placement call, first

    One short call and a diagnostic task, so you know the level you are starting from before you commit to anything.

  • A learner working at a laptop

    Writing marked by hand

    Expression écrite tasks submitted under exam timing and returned with corrections against the real marking criteria.

  • Recording a spoken practice task to camera

    Speaking, recorded and reviewed

    The section most candidates underestimate. You record the actual task types and hear back exactly what cost you marks.

WHY PREPARE HERE

Preparation built around the exam you are actually sitting

Four things every tier includes, whether you study on your own or work with Adèle every week.

  • Marked against the real criteria

    Every writing and speaking task comes with a model answer and the marking grid, so you can see exactly what an examiner rewards. On the live tiers, Adèle marks your own work by hand and tells you which mistakes are costing you the most points.

  • Timed practice in the real exam format

    You practise each section under the clock, in the order and the length you will meet on test day, so the paper itself is never the surprise.

  • Every result mapped to an NCLC level

    Practice results are converted to NCLC levels using the published conversion tables, so you always know how far you are from the level your profile needs.

  • Study from anywhere, in your timezone

    Everything is online, for candidates in Morocco, Algeria, Cameroon, France and Canada. Self-paced runs entirely on your own clock. On the live tiers, if you miss a class the recording and the correction still reach you.

OUR COMMITMENT

What we promise, and what we will never claim

Your result is decided by official examiners we have no contact with, so no honest preparation service can promise you a score. What we can commit to is the work: the corrections, the practice papers and the teaching hours you paid for.

What we do not claim

  • We do not guarantee a TCF Canada or TEF Canada score, an NCLC level, or a number of CRS points.
  • We do not register you for the exam, and we have no influence over marking, exam dates or seat availability.
  • We are an independent preparation service, not an examiner and not an official test centre.

Our commitment, in writing

  • On the live tiers, every writing and speaking task you submit is marked by Adèle herself, never by software. Self-paced includes a model answer for every task instead.
  • Prices are in Canadian dollars and include any tax that applies. Exam registration is never included: that fee goes to your test centre.
  • We will never invent a testimonial, a statistic or a pass rate.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which exam should I take, the TCF Canada or the TEF Canada?

Both are accepted by IRCC for permanent residence, so the right choice usually comes down to test-centre availability near you, sitting dates, and which format suits how you work. Our TEF vs TCF comparison walks through the differences side by side.

What score do I need for NCLC 7?

NCLC 7 is the level most Express Entry candidates aim for, because it is where French starts earning meaningful additional points. The exact raw score differs per exam and per ability, so check the score chart for the exam you are sitting.

Do you teach in French or in English?

Both. Lessons are taught by a native French speaker, and explanations can be given in English while you build up, then shifted fully into French as you approach your target level.

Is Français Prep affiliated with the official exam bodies?

No. Français Prep is an independent preparation service and has no affiliation with France Éducation International or CCI Paris Île-de-France. You register for the exam itself directly with an approved test centre.

Can you tell me whether I will qualify for permanent residence?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who says otherwise. We prepare you for the language exam. Eligibility and points are matters for IRCC or a licensed immigration consultant.
