Description & structure

DELF Junior French Exam


Open to secondary school students, including also 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.

The junior version of DELF (12 to 17 years old) 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 secondary school students.

The diploma awarded is identical to the standard DELF diploma . The examinations are independent, and candidates can register for the examination of their choice. Each examination evaluates the four communication skills: reading, listening, writing and speaking.
There are four diplomas for teenagers: A1, A2, B1 & B2
