What is DELF- DALF?

Created in 1985, the DELF (French Language Study Diploma) and the DALF (Advanced French language Diploma) are the first French as a foreign language diploma to have international value. These diplomas have been thought at a European level (European Council) and the French Ministry of National Education officially issues them. They have already been adopted in nearly 120 countries as French language reference examinations.

Why appear for this exam?

•    With a DALF, a student can gain direct access to any French speaking university without having to appear for an entrance linguistic test.

•    DELF/DALF functions with a system of certificates, wherein a student can appear for each following certificate in any recognized Indian or foreign Centers. It is valid for a life time.

•    DELF A1 & A2: certifies basic proficiency in French; the ability to communicate in French in all day-to-day situations.
