Certifications


The Alliance Française de Washington is an official exam center that offers evaluations of French language proficiency and awards several internationally recognized diplomas. The tests and diplomas are based on the same levels as the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2).

The tests (TEF, TCF, TEFAQ) are reliable measurements for determining proficiency and are only valid for a set period of time.

The diplomas (DELF, DALF, DAEFLE) are similar to university degrees in that they confirm language proficiency and are valid for life.

In-house evaluations ($75) are available for Fulbright, European Commission, or other external evaluation needs. Please contact alliance@francedc.org.
