Diplôme d'études en langue française

The '''''Diplôme d'études en langue française'' (English: Diploma in French Language Studies) or ''DELF''''' for short, is a diploma of French-language abilities for non-native speakers of French administered by France Education International (''France Éducation international'' or FEI) for France's Ministry of Education. It is composed of four independent diplomas corresponding to the first four levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: A1, A2, B1 and B2. Above this level, the "Proficient User" divisions are certified by the DALF.

The examinations are available in four varieties: "DELF Tous Publics" which is aimed at adults, "DELF Prim" which is for Primary School students (only available at pre A1, A1 and A2 levels), "DELF Junior et Scolaire" which is aimed at Secondary School students, and "DELF Pro" which is aimed at people who would like to work. Each variety is worth exactly the same and results in the awarding of the same diploma, but the material is varied to ensure that it is appropriate for the target cohort. DELF is not a certificate but it is a diploma valid for life and does not expire. Provided by Wikipedia
