DELF and DALF exams

DELF (Diplôme d’Etudes en Langue Française) and DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) diplomas are recognised worldwide and are very prestigious. They can assess 6 levels from A1 to C2 by testing your listening, reading, writing and speaking. These are all skills which will be needed to carry out your academic studies if you choose to study at university where the curriculum is taught in French. French universities usually require their international students to provide DELF B2 or DALF C1 diploma. DELF B1 level can be accepted for the programs taught in English. The higher your level is, the easier it will be for you to succeed in your studies in French. The validity of the diploma is unlimited.
