The DELF and DALF are diplomas awarded 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).

The diplomas are valid for life and recognised all around the world.

Holders of the DELF B2 or DALF diplomas are exempted from language entrance examinations in French universities

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).

Each examination comprises sections testing the four skills: oral production & reception and written production & reception.

The DELF-DALF examinations presented at Alliance Française de Penang are:

• DELF DALF Tout Public for General Public from 17 years old

• DELF Junior for teenagers aged from 12 to 17 years old

• DELF Prim for children aged from 7 to 11 years old.
