These diplomas are valid for life and provide the candidate with a quality french-level certification, useful to carry out specific personal, academic or professional projects. Delf-dalf test is the same worldwide. It is composed of 6 independent diplomas corresponding to the common european framework of reference for languages: delf a1, delf a2, delf b1, delf b2, dalf c1 et dalf c2.
