DELF A1 Pro

The DELF , Diplôme d'études en langue française (Diploma of Studies in the French Language), is the official international certification issued by the Ministry of National Education of France, to accredit the French skills of foreign candidates.

The professional version DELF Pro is recommended from 18 years of age , and as its name suggests, intended for people who wish to integrate into a French-speaking work environment. The DELF Pro is also appropriate for people who are already working in a French-speaking environment and who are willing to highlight their French skills to eventually advance their career, either by obtaining a promotion or by joining another company.

  • Anyone interested can apply, both in initial training and in continuing training. 
  • No prerequisites required: the candidate can obtain the diploma of their choice.

The DELF Pro contains subjects adapted to a working environment. Therefore, the DELF Pro assesses French communication skills in the entire current professional situation.
The DELF Pro consists of 4 levels A1, A2, B1 and B2. Level A1 is the most accessible and level B2 is the most advanced.

DELF Pro A1 Professional Option aims to assess whether you can:

- Integrate yourself into a new professional environment when you arrive at a new company.
- Carry out administrative procedures and perform your first tasks with various jobs.

As for beginners and A1 level students, there is not much difficult grammar, but it is good to see what to expect, and even more what you need to know to reach the DELF A1 level in French. Verbs and basic structures, of course.
