Many students complete IGCSE French but are unsure how their level compares to international exams such as DELF, DALF, TEF Canada, or TCF Canada.

At Polyvox French, we help you transform school-level French into internationally recognised certification for study, work, and immigration pathways.

IGCSE French (typically offered through Cambridge Assessment International Education or Pearson Edexcel) provides a strong grammatical and vocabulary foundation.

Using CEFR standards, the approximate alignment is:

Qualification Approximate CEFR Level Next Step

IGCSE French (Core) A1–A2 DELF A1–A2 preparation

IGCSE French (Extended) A2–B1 DELF B1 or TEF/TCF preparation

Strong IGCSE Results Early B1 Progression toward B1–B2

Level comparisons are indicative and based on CEFR standards.

Most IGCSE learners:

• Understand grammar but lack speaking confidence

• Have limited listening exposure to real French

• Are unfamiliar with DELF, TEF or TCF exam formats

• Do not know how to reach B2 level efficiently

This creates a gap between school French and real-world certification.

At Polyvox French, we focus on:

• Speaking fluency and pronunciation

• Listening comprehension for real exam situations

• Writing structure required for DELF, TEF and TCF

• Exam strategies aligned with immigration and academic goals

Your IGCSE becomes the foundation — not the final step.

If you already have IGCSE French, your next step is simple:

- Take a placement assessment

- Identify your current CEFR level

- Receive a personalised pathway to DELF, TEF or TCF success
