The French Academy
Your objective. Our pathway.
Why TFA?
Official Certified Center
We are an official TEF, TCF, and DFP examination centre in Malaysia.
Examiner-Led Preparation
Your preparation is guided by professionals who understand how French language exams are assessed.
Professional-Oriented Training
We do not approach French as a school subject. We train people to use French in real situations.
Structured Guidance
From assessment to preparation, registration, training, and certification, we guide you through the full pathway.
Corporate French Training
We don’t teach your staff French.
We train them to operate in it.
Meetings. Negotiations. Client relationships. Paris HQ calls. Reports. Presentations.

Who We Are
The French Academy is a Malaysia-based French training and examination centre.
We support individuals, professionals, students, and organisations who need French for a specific outcome: certification, immigration, university admission, business communication, or international mobility.
Our work is built around one principle:
French is not only something to learn.
It is something you must be able to use.
Since 2013, The French Academy has grown from a French learning centre into a structured training and certification provider, with official accreditations, corporate programmes, and international examination pathways.

Starting point: A2
Result: NCLC 7 across all four components
Timeline: 4 months
Programme: TEF Canada
Preparation — 1-on-1
"I'd tried preparing on my own and had no idea what the examiners were actually looking for. TFA restructured everything — my speaking, my writing format, my timing. Four months later I had my NCLC 7. Application submitted."
Li Wei C. — Chinese national, Kuala Lumpur
Objective: Express Entry — Canada PR
Starting point: B1
Result: NCLC 8 across all four components
Timeline: 3 months
Programme: TEF Canada
Preparation — 1-on-1
"I came in already knowing some French but scoring inconsistently. My coach identified exactly which components were pulling my score down and we worked on those specifically. Hit NCLC 8 on my first attempt. First choice province, application approved."
Objective: Canadian university admission
Starting point: A2
Result: TCF score accepted — admitted to first choice university
Timeline: 5 months
Programme: TCF Canada
Preparation — 1-on-1
"I had a hard deadline — my university application closed in five months. TFA assessed me, told me exactly what was achievable in that time, and built the programme around my deadline. I got the score, submitted the application, and got my offer letter."
