Common questions
Where can I find official TEF Canada practice material?
On the CCI's Le français des affaires site (lefrancaisdesaffaires.fr), under TEF Canada, then Se préparer. On 11 October 2026 it had example questions for each skill as PDFs, an interactive tutorial per skill and recorded workshops. It also points to a Hachette FLE training book and to PrepMyTEF, a paid course with official mock exams.
Is the official material enough to prepare?
It shows you the format and the level, and it costs nothing, so use it. What it doesn't give you is a full timed mock exam online or any feedback on your own speaking and writing. Those are the two things a practice platform adds.
Are TEF Practice questions official TEF questions?
No. TEF Practice questions are original. They are written by models trained on many past official TEF Canada samples, then tested with teachers, and every section follows the real format and timing. Only the CCI and its partners publish official TEF material.
Is TEF Practice connected to the CCI?
No. TEF Practice is an independent preparation platform. Results on any practice platform are estimates; only an approved test centre issues TEF Canada scores.
