What are DELF & DALF?

The DELF (Diplôme d'études en Langue Française – Diploma of French Language Studies) and DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française - Advanced Diploma in French Language) diplomas, conferred by the French Ministry of Education attest to the holder’s level of proficiency in the French language.

Six different diplomas are offered, corresponding to the six levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR):

• Basic User: DELF A1 - DELF A2

• Independent User: DELF B1 - DELF B2

• Proficient User: DALF C1 - DALF C2

​

To earn any of the diplomas, candidates must pass tests in four competency areas: oral comprehension, oral expression, written comprehension, and written expression.
