DELF / DALF tout public

Year round. Our centre participates in all sessions on the national calendar.

What is the DELF Diploma?

The DELF (Diplôme d’Études en Langue Française) is an official French-language certification awarded by the French Ministry of Education. It evaluates and certifies a non-native speaker’s level of French according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL).
There are four independent levels:

• DELF A1 – Beginner
• DELF A2 – Elementary
• DELF B1 – Intermediate
• DELF B2 – Upper-intermediate

Each diploma tests four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and once obtained, it is valid for life.

Why is the DELF important for foreign students studying in France?

1. Academic Requirements and Integration

Many French universities and business schools expect international students to demonstrate a certain level of French—often B2—to follow classes, participate in group projects, and understand academic material.
The DELF provides official proof of language proficiency that institutions recognize internationally.

2. Better Professional Opportunities

In business and international relations, employers increasingly look for candidates who can work in multilingual and multicultural environments.
A DELF diploma:

• Shows strong communication skills in French
• Enhances your CV when applying to internships or jobs in France, Europe, or international organizations
• Demonstrates your ability to engage with French-speaking clients, partners, or institutions

3. Easier Daily and Administrative Life in France

Studying in France means managing various administrative steps: housing, health insurance, visa procedures, internships, and student organizations.
Having an officially certified command of French makes daily life smoother and helps you integrate socially and professionally.

4. A Competitive Advantage in International Relations

France plays a major role in global diplomacy (UN, EU, OECD, NATO, Francophonie).
For students in international relations:

• French is a diplomatic language used in many international organizations.
• DELF B2 or C1 shows you have the linguistic capacity to participate in debates, negotiations, and research.

5. Personal and Cultural Enrichment

Taking the DELF encourages consistent study and immersion, helping you understand French culture, society, and communication styles—an essential skill for anyone studying economics, politics, or global affairs in France.

In summary

The DELF diploma is not just a language certificate; it is a strategic tool for academic success, professional development, and integration into the French and international environment—especially valuable for students in business or international relations who aim to build global careers.
