We prepare our trainees for the DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes de Langue Française) and DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) exams. These exams stick to Common European Framework of Reference for its content and linguistic levels.
The examinations, from the lowest to the highest level are as follows: DELF A1, DELF A2, DELF B1, DELF B2, DALF C1, DALF C2.
At International House Nice, we also offer the TEF and TCF exams for Nationality, residency cards, higher education studies and Canada immigration. Click the link above for applications and further information.
When preparing for the A1, A2 and B1 exams you will follow the general French intensive programme GR 20 in the mornings, as well as three additional afternoons of group lessons dedicated specifically to exam preparation.
It is possible to sit these exams in Sophia Antipolis, an area just 25 km out of Nice. All relevant information will be given to you upon arrival at International House Nice.
We recommend that you enroll for these exams before your arrival at the school due to the strict terms and conditions of the examinations.
