Alliance Française de Delhi

TCF

Alliance Française de Delhi runs TCF Canada only, not TEF Canada. It publishes a calendar for the whole year and opens registration at 09:00 IST, online and at reception at the same moment. Seats go first-come, first-served and the centre says they often fill within minutes, so set up your account well before opening day.

How to book at Alliance Française de Delhi

  1. Download the centre’s TCF Canada calendar for the year and note the registration opening for the date you want.

  2. Create your online registration account ahead of time using a valid passport. Since January 2026, no other ID is accepted.

  3. At opening time (recently 09:00 IST), book and pay online, or join the queue at the AFD reception shortly before it opens.

  4. Wait for the confirmation email. Your seat only counts once payment has gone through.

  5. If the session fills, you’ll be placed on a waiting list. Ask the front desk to move your fee to the same date if seats are added, or to the next TCF date.
