Our directory gives each centre's address, phone number and price, with a link to the page where we read each fact.
How do the two compare?
Published on 2 November 2026: Alliance Française lists a TCF Canada session at $390, and Ashton lists it at $410. Alliance Française says members receive 10% off the TCF. Prices change, so confirm the amount before you pay.
Both centres list computer-based testing and sell seats online. Both say a booking is final and not refundable. Ask each centre about moving a date, since their published rules differ.
What should you check before booking?
Look at dates first. On 2 November 2026, the December sessions on the Alliance Française page showed sold out, and the sessions on the Ashton page showed full.
Register with the name that appears on your ID. Ask how long you must wait to retake the exam, because the published rules differ.
Ask about re-marking too. Both centres say requests are suspended since 1 September 2026 and should resume in fall 2027.
Is the TEF offered too?
Alliance Française and Collège Éducacentre list the TEF. Collège Éducacentre lists TEF Canada at $380 for permanent residence and $200 for citizenship.
Before you pick an exam, confirm which one your application accepts.
