Registration for DELF-DALF

The Diplôme d’Études en Langue Française (DELF) and the Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française (DALF) are official diplomas issued by the French Ministry of National Education. They certify candidates’ proficiency in French and are recognized internationally.

These diplomas are divided into six independent levels, corresponding to the six levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) of the Council of Europe. Each diploma consists of tests assessing four language skills: listening comprehension, speaking, reading comprehension, and writing.

The Language Center of Université Sorbonne Paris Nord offers two sessions per year, in May and December, for levels A1 to C2, at the following fees:

A1: €100 A2: €125 B1: €140 B2: €165 C1: €205 C2: €205

Before registering at our examination center, please read our personal data processing policy. Please also note that registration can only be canceled or postponed in case of medical reasons, upon presentation of official proof.

Exam results are sent to candidates by email within two to three weeks after the exam session. Diplomas are issued within a maximum of three months after the results are emailed. While waiting for the diploma, a certificate of achievement can be issued upon request as soon as results are published.
