TFI test is a language proficiency test that measures and certifies the language skills of non-native speakers of French working in a professional environment.
The TFI test (Test de Français International) is a language proficiency test for non-native speakers of French. It measures and certifies the French skills of people working in a professional context, from beginner to advanced levels, regardless of occupation or background.
Spoken by over 170 million people everyday, French is widely used in international and business communication. A professional wanting to work in various countries, and aiming to demonstrate a skill in multiple languages, can use the reliable and valid TFI certification to achieve these objectives.
Processes involved in the design and development of the TFI tests adhere to stringent quality standards, leading to an objective and fair assessment.
The test is grounded in rigorous psychometric standards.
Each item is tested to ensure that it measures what it is supposed to.
The test itself is validated on parallel forms that are comparable across test forms and test groups.
2 barometers serve as guidelines to maintain the objectivity and fairness of the TFI test:
The ETS Fairness Review requires ETS to review all tests and test materials to ensure that they do not include insensitive or offensive material.
The ETS Standards for Quality and Fairness comprise quality assurance steps addressing audit requirements, assessment development, use and administration procedures, suitability for use, customer service, fairness, uses and protection of information, validity, reliability, cut scores, scaling and equating, reporting assessment results, and test takers’ rights and responsibilities.
ETS , the world leader in business and educational assessment, has been successfully developing the TFI test since 2000.
