DELF and DALF are official certifications awarded by the French Ministry of Education to certify proficiency in the French language of non-native speakers of French. The certificates are internationally recognized and often used by foreign ministries of education (Ministry of Human Resource Development in India) to assess French linguistic skills.
They are composed of 6 independent diplomas that correspond to the levels of language proficiency of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL). The 6 certifications are completely independent, i.e., candidates can register to examine their choice. At each level, 4 skills are evaluated: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
General presentation
General presentation
DELF is an official, high-quality diploma, harmonised with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
This diploma is recognised worldwide and is valid for life.
Depending on the level, the DELF can enhance a curriculum vitae (CV) and make it easier to get a job in a company where the language spoken is French.
The DELF B1 allows you to obtain French nationality. The DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow entry into French, European or Francophone universities, and into certain grandes écoles.
Target groups
Target groups
The DELF "tout public" is intended for adults and older teenagers, foreigners or French, who wish to develop their French language skills for personal or professional purposes.
The "all-public" version implies that all themes of society can be addressed in the public, personal, professional and educational exercises.
Younger audiences, such as children and teenagers, may be directed to so-called "Prim" or "junior/school" versions. In these versions, only topics of interest to younger learners are included in the exercises. The DELF exams assess communication skills. A young learner will be placed in a context that will make it easier for him/her to react in the "Prim" or "junior/school" versions and to demonstrate all his/her skills.
