DELF-DALF

Diplôme d’études en langue française et Diplôme approfondi de langue française


In the National Capital Region, Alliance Française Ottawa is the only accredited examination center for tests (TEF, TCF) and diplomas (DELF-DALF) certified by the French government and internationally recognized.

DELF - DALFThe DELF (Diplôme d’Études en Langue Française) and the DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) are official diplomas awarded by the French National Ministry of Education to certify the competency of candidates from outside of France in the French language. These qualifications are under the authority of the CIEP (Centre International d’Études Pédagogiques).

These exams are composed of six independent diplomas corresponding to the six levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL). These diplomas are independent, so candidates register directly for the examination of their choice. At each level, four skills are evaluated: oral comprehension, oral expression, written comprehension and written expression.

The DELF Junior is intended for teenagers, foreigners or French speakers, who wish to enhance their skills in the French language.

The DELF Prim is for all children who are beginners in French as a foreign language and who are studying at the elementary level or at the required age (up to 12 years old).

The DELF Junior or Prim diploma has the same value as a diploma from the adult version “tout public”. The exam version is not indicated on the diploma.
