The DELF, Diplôme d’Études en Langue Française, is an official French proficiency test administered by the Centre international d’étude pédagogiques. It is consistent with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
In addition to allowing you to opt out of a French university’s language entrance exam, having one of these French certifications looks good on your resume!

The DELF (Diploma of French Language Studies) and the DALF (Further Diploma of French Language Studies) are the first lifelong diplomas of French as a second language with international recognition. Today, there are 900 exam centers in 154 countries that offer the DELF and the DALF – for a total of 320,000 candidates around the world each year. Since their inception in 1985 there have been 2, 500,000 candidates.
Candidates who have been awarded the DALF are exempted from language entrance examinations in French universities.
Preparation course: At each level a series of tests assesses the four skills: oral comprehension and expression, written comprehension and expression. During this course (groupe class or private tutoring), you will learn about the four parts of the exam, train for each one of them, based on the level you are planning to attend. If you don’t know yet which level you should try to pass, our qualified instructors will help you determine this.
DELF A1 – Monday, June 4th 2012
This level recognises basic knowledge. It is the most basic level at which a language is used, called the “discovery” stage. At this stage, the learner can interact in a simple way: he/she can speak about him/herself and his/her immediate environment.
DELF A2 – Thursday, June 7th 2012
DELF A2 is based on the same principle: it recognises the linguistic competency of a basic user, considered as a social actor. The candidate can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring the most common polite phrases and exchanges of information.
DELF B1 – Tuesday, June 5th 2012
At this level, the user becomes independent. He/she can maintain interaction: he/she can understand and maintain a discussion and give his/her opinion. He/she is capable of dealing with situations likely to arise in daily life.
DELF B2 – Wednesday, June 6th 2012
A B2 user has a degree of independence that allows him/her to construct arguments to defend his/her opinion, explain his/her viewpoint and negotiate. At this level, the candidate has a degree of fluency and spontaneity in regular interactions and is capable of correcting his/her own mistakes.
