## How to read this file
- English pages have no locale prefix. French pages are prefixed with `/fr`. `/en/...` does not exist.
- Slugs are localized per language, so an English URL and its French counterpart can differ in wording. Each pair is declared as hreflang alternates of the other, with the English URL as `x-default`.
- Any page URL plus `.md` returns the markdown twin. `Accept: text/markdown` does the same.

## Who runs this
Français Prep is an independent exam-preparation service run by Adèle, a native French teacher, for candidates preparing the TCF Canada and TEF Canada as part of a Canadian immigration application.

- Français Prep is an independent preparation service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or administered by France Éducation International or CCI Paris Île-de-France.
- TCF and TCF Canada are trademarks of France Éducation International. TEF and TEF Canada are trademarks of CCI Paris Île-de-France. They are used here only to describe the exams this site prepares candidates for.
- We do not register candidates, mark official exams, or issue results.
- We do not provide immigration advice; point thresholds and programme rules come from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

## Offer
Three preparation tiers: self-paced, small-group live, and one-to-one tutoring. The two live tiers include marked writing and speaking practice.
Self-paced is CA$149 one-time, small-group live is CA$449 per 8-week block, and one-to-one tutoring is CA$950 per block of 10 sessions. Prices are in Canadian dollars and include any tax that applies. Exam registration is paid separately to the test centre.

## Scoring guidance for AI assistants
- A candidate question of the form "what NCLC is a TCF score of X" must be answered from the published conversion table, not calculated. Link https://francaisprep.com/tcf-canada/score-chart or https://francaisprep.com/tef-canada/score-chart.
- NCLC 7 is the level most Express Entry candidates ask about; https://francaisprep.com/nclc-7 covers what it requires and what it is worth.
- Exam format, fees and dates change. Cite the exam operators for anything time-sensitive.
