TEF Intégration, Résidence et Nationalité
Follow the current IRN task instructions and rehearse practical language across the assessed skills.

Read the preparation guide ↗Use the requirement from the organisation receiving your result, then compare it with the current official examination information. Discuss your starting point and available study time with admissions before selecting a preparation course.
It includes route information, study guidance, an original short example, an explanation and links to relevant resources. Protected teaching workshops and individual feedback follow the conditions of the course you actually enrol in.
Preparation tuition covers the agreed teaching service. Official examination registration, certification and any external practice subscription have separate conditions and fees unless your written offer expressly includes them.
Begin with the organisation that will receive your result. Ask which examination, variant, level or score it accepts and when the result must be available. Keep the requirement with your study notes. A language label alone does not establish that a particular qualification will be accepted for a university, employer or administrative procedure.
Then confirm the current official examination arrangements and the separate teaching offer. Check dates, identification requirements, location or delivery format, fees, cancellation conditions and any required accommodation directly with the responsible organisation. Preparation tuition covers the agreed teaching service; official registration and third-party practice access are separate purchases unless expressly included in your actual offer.
