DELF/DALF Language Courses

DELF

The Alliance Francaise de Darwin is a certified DELF exam centre (Diplôme d’Etudes en Langue Française). We offer opportunities for students to be tested on the different DELF variations (Prim, Junior, and General public).

What Is The DELF

The DELF is a diploma certifying your level of French as a foreign language given by the French Ministry of Education. Therefore, it is an official and permanent certification.

The exams are divided into 4 exercises: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, written production, and speaking interaction and production.

Why Should You Take The DELF Exam

• Firstly, this is an official diploma of the French Ministry of Education which permanently validate your level of the French language. You will know your level with a non-biased view.
• Secondly, the diploma officially and permanently validates the learning of the French language.
• Thirdly, it allows students to study, work and/or migrate to a French-speaking country (France, Belgium, Switzerland as well as Québec for instance).
• Indeed, French universities and Grandes Écoles require the French language for entry. Generally, an undergraduate entry requires a DELF B2 and a DALF C1 for postgraduate entry. However, you should ask your (future) school for confirmation.
