DELF Prim

The DELF Prim is a French Language Studies diploma issued by the French Ministry of Education.
It is designed for children at the elementary school level (ages 7 to 12). The DELF Prim is divided into three levels: A1.1, A1 and A2 and corresponds to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

The Delf Prim is designed especially for kids. It shows them they actually speak French, boosting their confidence and obtaining a diploma recognized all over the world!

The awarded diploma is identical to the standard DELF certificate. It is widely implemented in Alberta and across Canada, offering independent registration for candidates.

The test, conducted in a group setting and using an attractive activity book format, includes themes from a child’s environment, such as their family, hobbies and school.
The exams assess the four communication skills: reading, listening, writing, and speaking.

  If you are 12 or over, it is recommended to write the DELF junior examination. The junior version of DELF has the same basic structure as the standard DELF. Only the topics are different: the materials take into account the interests of young people. It can only be taken by children of secondary-level age. The diploma awarded is identical to the standard DELF diploma. Click here for more information.
