What Is DELF/DALF
DELF & DALF are diplomas awarded by the French Ministry of Education to prove the French-language skills of non-French candidates. The agency France Éducation International is in charge of the certifications for the Ministry.
DELF & DALF diplomas are required for the entry in the Higher Education in France (B2 level) and for application for French citizenship (B1 level).
There are six independent diplomas, which correspond, respectively, to the six levels of the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL) : A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2.
The 6 diplomas that make up DELF & DALF are completely independent. This means that candidates can register for the examination of their choice, according to their level.
At each level, 4 skills are evaluated: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The examinations were therefore created to include the four skills at every level, with varying degrees of interaction and mediation required depending on the level. A mark of at least 50/100 is required in order to be awarded the diploma.
Usually, you will receive a certificate one month after the exam, then you will have to wait three months for the diploma.
