If you want to register for the premier cycle or first stage of undergraduate studies in France and you do not have the DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française, or advanced diploma in French language), you must take the specific TCF (Test de Connaissance du Français, or French competency test) called the "TCF pour la DAP" or TCF for DAP (Demande d’Admission Préalable, or preliminary admission application).

TCF for DAP examination sessions for applicants to the premier cycle, or first stage of university studies, and to schools of architecture for the 2007 academic year open in October 2006 and close on 26 February 2007. The closing date cannot be extended.

Please note: The dates of TCF for DAP examination sessions vary in each country. Some countries only hold one TCF for DAP examination session (generally in January or February), while others organise a number of sessions (e.g. Algeria, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, Vietnam).

It is up to you to find out the dates of the examination session(s) to be held in your country, as soon as possible.

Please note: If you do not find out the relevant information or do not take the examinations soon enough, you will not be able to take the TCF for DAP.

If you are not in France, you must contact the SCAC (Services de Coopération et d’Action Culturelle, or department for cooperation and cultural affairs) of the French embassy in your country. Once you have registered, you will take your TCF for DAP at the institution indicated by the French embassy (Institut Français, Alliance Française, Centre Culturel Français, university, etc.).

If you are in France, you will take your TCF for DAP at the university or school of architecture to which you are applying. These universities and schools will hold TCF for DAP examination sessions between 16 and 26 February 2007 only. After this date, you will not be able to take the TCF for DAP for the 2007/2008 academic year.

If you want to study and work in France, you can become an "au pair" which means that you will live in a french family and will work in return.Your work will consist on taking care of the children and eventually you will be asked to do some housework. In exchange, not only you will be accommodated and fed by the family, but you will also receive a salary for your work.
Furthermore, you will have to take french courses, 10 hours per week. Therefore, the family will give you free time to study and our french school in france, inflexyon will adapt your classes schedule to your family's needs : for example you willl not have class on wednesdays so that you can take care of the children.
