Also, open to all young French citizens who reside in a non-francophone country and who are schooled in local institutions.
Issued by the French Ministry of Education, internationally recognised and valid for life.
Divided into four diplomas corresponding to the first four levels of the Common European Reference Framework for Languages: A1 and A2 (for basic-level users), B1 and B2 (for independent users).
Designed to assess the communicative skills of a candidate in a real-life situation, using authentic documents, rather than the linguistic and formal grammatical knowledge.
Four skills are evaluated through two examinations:
DELF Junior A1 $165
DELF Junior A2 $165
DELF Junior B1 $185
DELF Junior B2 $185
Unless clearly advised otherwise, all exams are organised in our office location, during business hours.
Please note that candidates will not be able to choose their oral examination date. They will receive an email one week before the examinations at the latest to inform them of the precise day and time of their exam.

Results are emailed to you about one month after sitting the test. After this, you will then receive emails advising you when your certificate and diploma have arrived - certificates require a few weeks after test results and diplomas require a few months - so that you can come and pick them up in St Kilda. If you cannot come and pick them up, we can arrange to have them mailed to you: you will need to provide us with an A4 Registered Post envelope with your name and address on it.
The publication of DELF-DALF diplomas is the responsibility of the FEI, which is located in Paris. Certificates are issued in
Canberra. This certificate should allow you to undertake the necessary administrative procedures while waiting for the official diploma.
Official diplomas can take several months to arrive at our office because they are published in France and are, then, sent by post.
Results assigned by national juries are final. If you failed the exam, you may apply to have a look at your exam paper within two
weeks of your results being emailed to you.
It can only be organised by appointment at our premises in St Kilda. To apply, please email C. Plaa at educationcoordinator@afmelbourne.com.au
Note that DELF Junior examiners and markers are all trained and authorized by France Education International. They follow strict assessment guidelines and are regularly monitored.
Read through the information on this page carefully.
You will receive your exam schedule by email one week before the examinations at the latest.
