DELF / DALF

The DELF and DALF are diplomas issued by the French Ministry of Education to prove the French language skills of non-French candidates.

DELF stands for Diplôme d’études en langue française (Diploma of French-language studies). 
DALF stands for Diplôme approfondi de langue française (Advanced diploma in French language)

There are six independent diplomas, which correspond, respectively, to the six levels of the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL).

The DELF DALF examinations presented in Malaysia are:

• DELF DALF Tout Public for General Public from 17 years old
• DELF Junior for children aged from 12 to 17 years old
• DELF Scolaire for school children who are in the selected Government schools 
• DELF Prim for children aged from 7 to 11 years old 

(The junior version of DELF is perfectly fit to teenagers between 12 and 17 years old in middle and high-school. The DELF junior version has the same basic structure as the standard DELF.
Only the topics are different: the materials take into account the interests of young people.)

DELF DALF diplomas are:

•  Valid for life
•  Recognised internationally
•  A proof of proficiency for education purpose – to enter into the French Universities system(DELF B2     and above) or for work purpose
•  Adds to the CV

Each examination comprises sections testing the four skills: oral production & reception and written production & reception. Holders of the DELF B2 or DALF diplomas are exempted from language entrance examinations in French universities.
