The shared module of the Instituts français (“Anmeldung für Sprachzertifikate”) listed 112 TCF sessions on 26 October 2026, each with its own registration deadline, usually one to two weeks before the test; “Keine Plätze mehr frei” means the session is full. The TEF Canada, the other test IRCC accepts, had sessions published that day in Bonn and Erlangen on the map of Le français des affaires.
Registering for the TCF Canada in Germany
At the six Instituts français of the module, you pick a session on the “Anmeldung für Sprachzertifikate” page of the Institut français in Germany (filter TCF, then the city), create an account and pay online. In Aachen, you book online or by email, giving the version and the session; in Bonn, a registration only counts once the fee has arrived before the deadline, and it is neither refunded nor moved, except with a medical certificate; in Erlangen, you send back a PDF form.
Results arrive within 15 working days; the results certificate is digital, with a QR code and the candidate’s photo, and is valid for two years. You must wait 30 days between two attempts, whatever the version.
The 13 approved TCF test centres in Germany
How to read this list. It reproduces the official list of test centres approved by France Éducation international (FEI), read on 26 October 2026: name, address, phone, generic email and website as FEI publishes them; where the listed website no longer works or has moved, we give the one we opened that day. “Computer-based”: FEI lists the centre as offering computer sessions; “paper-based”: FEI lists no computer sessions. The “TCF Canada” badges come from our check of each centre’s website on 26 October 2026. An organisation that is not on this list is not approved.

The official lists
FEI’s official list of TCF test centres — Germany · map of TCF centres. These lists change: FEI adds and removes centres during the year — ours is dated 26 October 2026. If in doubt, FEI’s list is the reference.
The centre gives you the date; the score is up to you
You pay the full fee for each session, and you can’t retake the test right away. The mock exams in the “TCF DELF TEF: Tests 2026” app follow the official format of each test — TCF Canada, TCF Québec, TCF IRN — scored like the real thing, with AI feedback on writing and speaking.
