Information about the DELF and DALF exams

The DELF ("Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française") and DALF ("Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française") consist of 6 diplomas independent from each other.
They correspond to the 6 levels of the Common European Framework of References for languages. They are the only French as a foreign language qualifications which are officially recognised by the French ministry of Education. They are internationally valid.
The DELF A1 and A2 for the elementary user validates a basic knowledge of French and a "survival" level for daily life.
The DELF B1 and B2 for the independent user confirms a good knowledge of French and the ability to communicate verbally and in writing covering a wide range of topics within the modern French language.
The DALF C1 and C2 for the proficient user validates fluent and spontaneous communication skills at highest level and include specialised topics, chosen by the candidate him/herself. Candidates who have been awarded the DALF C1 or DALF C2 are exempted from language entrance examinations in French Universities.

All diplomas are independent from each other (the unit credit scheme has disappeared) which means candidates can sit the DELF DALF exam at any level without access tests.
All units are valid indefinitely and all over the world.
All four competences (speaking, writing, listening and reading skills) are tested at all levels.
Each DELF DALF exam corresponds to the following hours of teaching :

DELF A1 : 60 hours from Beginner level
DELF A2 : 160 hours from Beginner level (100 hours from DELF A1
DELF B1 : 310 hours from Beginner level (150 hours from DELF A2)
