The DELF and DALF exams, or Diplôme d'études en langue française, certify French-language abilities for non-native speakers of French. They are administered by France's International Centre for French Studies (Centre international d'études pédagogiques, or CIEP) for the country's Ministry of Education. These exams are of great international value for those wishing to study in a French university or work in a French-speaking environment.
In this 4-week course, students will develop communication skills and oral skills most importantly but without neglecting the written skills. Throughout the course participants will learn to use these skills in everyday situations. They will also work to improve comprehension of topics such as French politics, culture, and social life.
DELE certification is composed of four independent diplomas corresponding to the first four levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The two proficient level divisions are certified by the DALF.
DELF A2 - Elementary Level
DELF B1 and B2 - Intermediate Level
DALF C1 and C2 - Superior Proficiency (Prep course available upon request only.)
