DELF / DALF

The DELF and the DALF are official diplomas awarded by the French Ministry of Education to certify the French language proficiency level of the candidates above 17 years old. 

Those diplomas are recognized internationally, they are often required for an admission to a French school or university or to access some career opportunities. Moreover, there is no expiration date meaning they are valid for life.

There are six independent diplomas validating the six levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). For each level, 4 skills are evaluated: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Being the only authorised examination center for DELF-DALF diplomas in the Kingdom,  Alliance Française d’Arabie Saoudite organises regular exam sessions allowing our students and external candidates to certify their French language proficiency level throughout the year.

We also offer preparatory courses with certified examiners prior to the exam in order to increase your chance of success! 

The DELF junior is intended for teenagers, from the age of 12 to the age of 17 years old. The examination follows the same structure of the DELF General Public examination evaluating the same four communication skills (reading, listening, writing and speaking). Only the topics are adapted to the interests of the young candidates. 

This diploma is also awarded by the French Ministry of National Education with no expiration date.
