In Romania, the three centres approved for the TCF are branches of the Institut français — Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca and Timișoara —, and all three present the TCF Canada, on computer. Timișoara publishes a calendar: 4 November (registration until 27 October), 18 November, 9 and 16 December 2026. In Cluj-Napoca, you set your date with the office at least 10 working days ahead; Bucharest refers candidates to its registration office. None of the three published its fee on 26 October 2026.

The 3 approved TCF test centres in Romania

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 — Romania · 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.
