  • Members pay US$350 instead of US$399, so check whether a membership pays off if you’re taking more than one exam.
  • Cancelling before the deadline costs US$80 and transferring costs US$50. After the deadline there’s no refund, and no transfer without a medical certificate.

  • The TCF calendar includes Montclair Monday sessions (26 October, 16 November and 14 December 2026) alongside Friday sessions in Manhattan.
  • The TEF page gives both a one-month and a two-month wait between attempts, so confirm with the Language Center before rebooking.
  • Allow 5–6 weeks for the certificate to arrive by post.
  • Sold-out dates take a waiting list: on 27 September 2026 it held 46 people for 16 Oct TCF, 56 for 6 Nov TCF, 8 for 30 Oct TEF and 2 for 20 Nov TEF.
