Delf Dalf exams
Make your French Official
The DELF and DALF are official French
language
proficiency qualifications
administered and awarded by the French Ministry of Education. They are valid for life and recognised internationally.
They are available at 6 different levels.
The DELF, for beginners and intermediate learners, at A1-A2-B1-B2.
The DALF, for advanced-level candidates, at C1-C2.
- DELF B1 is the minimum level accepted for the French naturalisation process.
- DELF B2 is required by most French universities for students who want to enrol on a course.
Each exam assesses four skills: listening, reading, speaking, and writing.
For more information on the exam format and to access sample papers, visit France
Education International.
What are the benefits of a DELF/DALF qualification?
- an official statement of your French level, which can be used for French nationality applications and many other purposes;
- proof of how much your French has improved;
- career advancement and an official qualification for your CV;
- recognised proof of level for studies at a French university or institute of higher education;
- a challenge and a chance to revise what you know.

Who can take the DELF/DALF French exams?
Different versions of the test are available, with adjusted topics and themes, but all at the same levels:
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can enrol directly on the exam at the level you require, without any proof of prior study or any
other qualification.
PLEASE NOTE
You will receive your results approximately 4-8 weeks after the exam. It takes around 3-4 months after that to receive your diploma, which is now the only document you can use for official procedures.
If you need to prove your level of French sooner, a TEF might be a better option for you. Visit our page on the TEF exams here.
