What is DELF-DALF?

DELF (Diplôme d’Études en Langue Française) and DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) are official, high-quality diplomas, harmonised with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

These diplomas are recognised worldwide and are valid for life.

Depending on the level, the DELF-DALF can enhance a curriculum vitae (CV) and make it easier to get a job in a company where the language spoken is French.

The DELF B1 allows you to obtain French nationality. The DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow entry into French, European or Francophone universities, and into certain grandes écoles.

Alliance Française du Bengale is one of the 900 approved examination centres for DELF / DALF in 154 countries, including France. AfdB is also the only centre in Kolkata to offer DELF / DALF exams.

Different diplomas based on the age

There are different types of diplomas based on the age and the profile of the candidates. At AFdB we offer:

  • DELF-DALF Tout public (for general public)
  • DELF Prim (for children aged 6 to 11)
  • DELF Junior (for teenangers aged 12 to 17)

Those three versions of the DELF assess the skills in the four fields of language learning described in the Common European Framework for Languages: reading, listening, writing and speaking. The themes and tasks of these different versions are adapted to each age group, but rely on a communicative approach: the language level tested is the same, regardless of the version of the exam.

What are the different levels of certification?

  • DELF A1: Breakthrough or beginner
  • DELF A2: Waystage or elementary
  • DELF B1: Threshold or intermediate
  • DELF B2: Vantage or upper intermediate
  • DALF C1: Effective Operational Proficiency or Advanced
  • DALF C2: Mastery or proficiency
