DELF DALF Exams 
The DELF (Diploma of French Language Studies) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma of
French Language Studies) are the first lifelong diplomas of French as a second language with international recognition.
Today, there are 1200 exam centers in 175 countries that offer the DELF and the DALF - for a total of 400,000 candidates around the world each year. Since their inception in 1985 there have been more than 7,000,000 candidates.
*Updates*
Diplôme d’Études de Langue Française (DELF) and Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française (DALF) are arranged to be the stipulated
official language examinations for Category C subjects of 2025 Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) and
onwards. The current question papers will no longer be recognised as a Category C subject of HKDSE since then.
Students who would like to take the French language as a Category C subject must take the DELF examination in level A2 or above within the two years preceding the HKDSE they sit, i.e. for 2025 HKDSE candidates, DELF has to be taken in 2023 and 2024.
