An official certification to validate your French-language skills
DELF (Diplôme d'études en langue française) and DALF (Diplôme approfondi de langue française) are managed and delivered by the French Ministry of Education. These diplomas assessing your level in French are internationally recognised and have lifetime validity.

The Alliance Française Amsterdam is the only official examination centre for the DELF & DALF diplomas in Amsterdam. You may take the DELF or DALF exam twice a year.

Why take these exams?
With the DELF/DALF you will: 
- receive an official certificate which attests your language skills
- be able to measure your progress in French and therefore enhance it
- be able to prove your language skills for professional, personal and educational objectives
- increase your chances on the labour market (internships, recruitment, promotion, mobility)

What is being assessed?
There are six independent diplomas, which correspond to the six levels of the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL). At each level, the 4 following skills are assessed: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
