French as a Foreign Language - Higher education institution

TCF EXAMINATION CENTER

In September 2006, the CIEP and the French Language and Civilization Courses of the Sorbonne (CCFS) signed a partnership agreement that led to the creation of the CIEP-Sorbonne Center.

The CIEP-Sorbonne Center is now the only center affiliated with the CIEP in Paris that is authorized to give the Test de Connaissance du Français (TCF, or French Knowledge Test).
