The DELF (Diplôme d'Études en Langue Française) is an official diploma awarded by the French Ministry of Education to certify the French language competency of candidates outside of France.
Suited for: adults of all learning levels
The DELF is composed of four individual certificates that correspond with the four levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL).
Each exam is different from one another and candidates can register for the exam of their choosing. Each exam evaluates four communication skills: reading, listening, writing, and speaking.
An average grade of 50 out of 100 points for each part of the exam is required to obtain the DELF A1, A2, B1, and B2 diplomas.
DELF A1
The person at an A1 level has a basic knowledge of French. This learning level is also called the "discovery" stage. The person can interact in a simple way: they can speak about themselves and their immediate environment.
DELF A2
A person at an A2 level is capable of socially communicating in French. The candidate can communicate about simple and routine tasks requiring common phrases and exchanges of information.
DELF B1
A person with a B1 level is independent and can maintain a conversation. They can understand and partake in a discussion and give their opinion. They are also capable of dealing with situations that are likely to happen in everyday life.
DELF B2
The B2 candidate has a degree of independence that allows them to construct arguments to support their opinion, explain their point of view and negotiate. At this level, the candidate has a degree of fluency and spontaneity in regular interactions and is capable of correcting their own mistakes.
