Since 2019, France Education International, operating under the French Ministry of National Education, has allowed FLAM associations in the U.S. to offer testing for the Diplôme d’études en langue française (DELF).

EFGH is an official DELF testing center. EFGH instructors are trained as proctors and examiners and are certified to grade the exams.

The DELF certifies proficiency in the French language.It provides a way for individuals outside of France to demonstrate their level of French through an internationally recognized diploma. In France, new immigrants take the DELF Prim.
The DELF diploma may also be required for admission to Francophone universities or for immigration to or employment in a Francophone country. There are several levels of the diploma, ranging from A1.1 to C2.

What is the DELF Prim?

The DELF Prim is the first stage diploma for French as a foreign language (FLE) issued by the French Ministry of National Education. It is designed for children studying French at the elementary level and consists of separate diplomas for different levels, each assessing the four language skills:

• Listening
• Reading
• Speaking
• Writing

What is the DELF Junior?

The DELF Junior is structured like the DELF Prim but is aimed at high school students. The only difference is the topics covered, which are designed to suit slightly older audiences. The DELF Junior consists of independent diplomas for different levels and each of four language skills:

• Listening
• Reading
• Speaking
• Writing

EFGH prepares your children

EFGH has chosen to teach its students as if they were preparing for the DELF exam using different teaching methods tailored to each learning level. Our instructors work with an assistant specializing in speaking skills to form small groups, allowing students to practice speaking French.
The DELF exam is open to students who can read and write in French. Instructors evaluate students and recommend the most appropriate exam.

Registering for the exam

EFGH is an exam center for its students. Exams are held in April or May. Outside of France, registration fees are dictated by the Department of Cooperation and Cultural Action within the French embassy and the National Commission.
Registration usually takes place during March. Parents receive all the necessary information via email.
