Sorry, none that I know of. You can check their individual websites and the PNP thread

@ Mamaroon, u are an inspiration on this thread.I have seen you handle unmet expectations appropriately. Please, how do you handle low expectations e.g. IELTS, u think you will pass an exam , and it fell below expectations and it is having a toll on your morale most especially if you see others meeting the same expectations of which you know you could be better than them. Thanks

Hmmm, this one na JAMB question o!!!

In general, whether its TEF, IELTS, broken relationship, job loss etc; the principle is the same (for me)...refresh, refine, refire.

Refresh - just take a break for a day, a week a month (nor make am too long sha), watch a movie, hang out with friends or family, anything you enjoy (that is legit, no bi me go advise make you try drugs o) that will take your mind off the disappointment.

Refine - take a critical look, be brutal with yourself, what did you do well, where did you mess up, where are the gaps, how can you bridge the gaps. Ask for help, get a tutor, join an online community. Map out a plan, not so much in terms of hours, but rather milestones e.g. I want to be able to write a paragraph without referring to the dictionary or I want to be able to listen to that podcast and understand 60% of the gist. For some of us this will also including saving up money in order to redo exams.

Refire - take the plunge again. If the objective must be achieved, you can't give up, abi? How else do you get the ITA if you don't increase your CRS. How do you increase the CRS if you don't smash TEF with CLB 7 or do CIMA/BCS.

Of course you need to ask for the BIG MAN's help to cap it all.

Permit me to leave you with a scripture: Ps 37: 5 Commit everything you do to the Lord . Trust Him, and He will help you.

Personally I see Express Entry as a clear and simple way to migrate.

You can do this, Josh!!!

Good Afternoon. Please how can I get good materials that I can use to learn french before taking the TEF exam?

Personally I see Express Entry as a clear and simple way to migrate. TEF or PNP are my only options given age, years of experience and education, so if I want to do it, I have to keep going, however long it takes. #I have not achieved, I press on......

You can do this, Josh!!!

Thanks alot!! Always inspiring!!

Hi Everyone, Joshua IEF here,
I decided to stop putting up ads here due to the seriousness of this group and I thought it wasnt fair to take undue advantage by posting ads et al. Its why when we had a success story with Yinka (for those unaware, there was a Yinka story) who had C1, C1 C1 and B2 [B2 in writing], We didnt really over push, although THE YINKA story also gained us some recognition and I thank all those who have in one way or the other spoken about IEF, you added to our what we have become now.

I sincerely congratulate @Ayande for another superbe result C1, C1 C1 and B2 [B2 in speaking], you must have read her side of the story as well. The common ground for both is that they were very dedicated. I thank you both for the work you put it.

My challenge right now is that if Yinka had a B2 in writing and Dayo had a B2 in speaking it means there is still a record to break C1, C1, C1 C1, I think its safe to say that we can achieve C1 in writing like Dayo did and C1 in speaking like Yinka did.

TEF Community if you think you can be more determined, and your story is worth a success story... how can we be of help. Merci

IEF

I think It's achievable in eight months if you attend classes daily and do a lot of studying, listening and speaking on your own too. You have to immerse yourself in the language within the périod.

I started in April. It's quite challenging but rewarding. I attend classes daily. Since you live in maryland, you can first check out Alliance français Ikeja branch (that's the closest to you). Alternatively, you can check IEF Yaba

Please I will like to understand you better.
You said you started in April, did you know nothing that April.
I can see you passed already. Was it the period you used in learning to get that result.

Before april, I knew bonjour, au revoir from my secondary school knowledge of french. That was all. I started from A1 in April.

By you saying A1, does it mean you could do basic like greetings ( salut à bientôt), order at a restaurant ( je voudrais un tasse de thé Avec un pain, une table pour Deux personnes s' il vous plaît), work ( he travail chaque jour), etc.
I have learnt these and more using an app (Duolingo).

Congrats on your TEF victory. Did you use any other materials for learning and preparation apart from those already shared on this thread ? If yes, please can you share with me. Thanks.

Was it only the French music that helped you in your listening , any other tips for the listening please?

I used the materials shared on this thread and followed the Facebook group "comment se preparer pour TEF" where members posted exam questions recently done.

For the listening, the listening sessions at IEF really helped. We consumed a lot of audios (class appropriate audios) in class. They formed an integral part of the teaching even long before the exams.

I did a lot of listening on my own too. Bought a bluetooth speaker which became my companion while driving and doing house chores. I listened to anything french- news, podcasts, and my favourite TV5 programme (les maternelles d'Afrique anchored by Angela) Music is just one of them.

Please i live in Abuja and i would like to know if IEF exists here or any TEF dedicated study center in Abuja. I don't even mind having a study partner, i already max out on ielts and i am on 441, i think French is the next thing for me. Please assist with information

Hi
We are not in Abuja at the moment. Apologies

Hello
Please I’m interested in learning French to boost my CRS scores.
Currently A1 but intend to enrol in a 3 month physical class from January in Abuja.
I need focused french buddies in Abuja.
Kindly send a pm if you’re in the same shoe as mine.
Please when is the next TEF/TCF exam?
How long does it take for results to be out?
How feasible is it to achieve the ffg scores with intensive French daily class for 3 months:
Speaking:320
Writing: 320
Listening: 280
Reading: 280

It's better you give yourself six months of intensive study. Learning a new language to fluent levels isn't easy. A lot also depends on what you put in.

Hello, you need to contact Institute Francais Abuja for the next available dates. It's possible the next one is in December but I imagine you're targeting 2020 since you're A1 at the moment.

TEF 4 - 6 weeks; TCF 15 days

The current record from A1 is 6 months. 3 months is very optimistic for these scores. Especially a 280 in reading (that's possibly a C2)

However, just try to focus on your goal and work hard on your French.

Look at posts from @ayandee and @njbybrthnly for what's possible in 6 months.

Bonjour Toute le Monde!

Please asides Alliance Francais , is there any great French center specifically for TEF/TCF in Ilorin? Alliance Francais is offering me 3 months for just beginners class. Too long for what I need.

Je parle un petite peau.

Thank you

Am in Abuja too. Lets connect and find solution to our problem. Maybe we can even have a joint section with tobidam
