  5. Pay the fee

    Each centre sets its fee. Without payment your registration is not final; once made, it is firm and non-refundable.

  6. Receive your notice

    Once your registration is validated, the centre e-mails you the details. No news a week before? Check your spam folder or contact the centre.

Advised lead time

The official website advises registering as early as possible.

Our advice: choose your session 2 to 3 months before the date you need (application, admission) and register as soon as it opens: seats go fast.

Retaking the exam

The same TEF section (any version) cannot be taken again within 20 days.
