Alliance française Denpasar

The French Institute in Denpasar is the only recognized examination centre in Bali for the different diplomas and certificates that attest for your level in French. Whatever your target (study in France, professional reasons, immigration), you can take DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or DALF (Diplôme Approfondi en Langue Française) examinations. These exams are open to all, whether you are a student of Alliance Française or not.

What is it?

 

 

The DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) and DALF (Diplôme Approfondi en Langue Française) are the official French proficiency diplomas delivered by the French Ministry of Education to non native French language speakers. These diplomas are valid forever, without any time limit.

 
 

DELF and DALF diplomas are in fully accord with the six levels of proficiency defined by the Council of Europe. These levels have been specified to describe objectively any European language.

 
 

Candidates can sit directly for the level that fits their proficiency: each level is completely independent and is a diploma in its own right.
