Our language school prepares you to take the TCF, DELF, DALF and TCF-DAP exams; those diplomas certify your fluency in French with universities and employers. Exercises to prepare DELF exam

• The DELF and DALF

DELF and DALF levels
These are directly linked to the 6 levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL)
DELF A1 and A2 (elementary user) develop the first notions of French. They correspond to the survival level for communication in simple situations in daily life.
The DELF B1 and B2 (independent user) validates sufficient oral and written skills in French to communicate effectively on varied subjects.
The DALF C1 and C2 (experienced user) vouch for easy and spontaneous communication, as well as a high level of proficiency in the French language, particularly on specific subjects chosen by the candidate himself. This is the level required to enter a French University, and it eliminates the need to do any other language test.

• OTHER EXAMS

The TCF
The TCF is an exam set by the French Ministry of Education. It is a test on your general language abilities in French aimed at any non-French-speaking person who wishes, for professional or private reasons, to validate their knowledge of French in a simple and reliable fashion.
If you would like to register at an Ecole supérieur d’art (art school) in France, you must pass the TCF exam and obtain level 4 (equivalent of the DELF B2).

If you would like to register for a Licence 1 (Bachelor's Degree) or Licence 2 at a university in France, or a School of Architecture, you must present the specific Demande d’Admission Préalable (preliminary admission request) TCF, called the TCF-DAP.
If you would like to register for a Licence 3, Master 1, Master 2, or Doctorate in a higher education establishment or Grande Ecole, you must present the TCF or the TCF-DAP.
