TESTING - EVALUATION

The Alliance Française des Bahamas tests all students at the end of each session of its classes to evaluate the level of comprehension. Students who pass their exams
receive a certificate of completion at each level.

The Alliance Française des Bahamas is an official testing centre in The Bahamas for the French
DELF and DALF exams

DELF - DALF - DELF JUNIOR EXAMINATIONS

The Alliance Française des Bahamas is  the only exam centre for the French-government accredited and internationally recognized DELF and DALF diplomas
in The Bahamas.

What are the DELF and DALF diplomas?

The DELF (Diplôme d'Études en Langue Française) and the DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) are official diplomas awarded by the French Ministry of
Education to certify the competency of candidates from outside France in the French language. DELF and DALF are composed of 6 diplomas that have been
harmonized with the European standards corresponding to the 6 levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages since Sept. 1st, 2005.

At each level, 4 skills are evaluated: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

A junior version of the DELF also exists for junior and high school students. The Alliance Française des Bahamas  proposes this exam as well.

For detailed information about each level of these diplomas, visit the website of CIEP (Centre International d'Études Pédagogiques) by clicking here.

Who can take the diplomas?

Anyone who is not a native French-speaker and who would like his/her French skills to be recognized for personal or professional purposes can take the exams. These
diplomas are also recognized by some French universities and G
randes Écoles as meeting French language requirements for entry.

What diplomas should I take?

The 6 DELF and DALF diplomas are independent from one another, so you can take the examination of your choice. You can also sit the examination for a number of
diplomas during the same examination session if scheduling permits.

How do I prepare for the exam?

Preparation courses for the DELF and DALF are  available at the Alliance Française des Bahamas upon request within the limits of availability. Contact us to find out!
