Russian language certificate
General preparation guidance
TORFL (TRKI) is an official certificate showing your level of Russian.
To get it, pass a Russian language test at an authorised testing centre. The test covers reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary and grammar.
A language course can help you prepare. A course completion document is not the same as a TORFL certificate.
Check the level and accepted proof with the university. Some universities accept their own Russian entrance test instead of a certificate.
