However, in a professional context, certain parameters might be, more specifically, taken into consideration:

  • DELF / DALF are life-time valid diplomas, issued in more than 160 countries and are, as a way of consequence, well known in the entire world ; but they remain diplomas of general French and do not focus on professional skills.
  • TEF is also a certificate of general French, but it is more flexible than the DELF, in the sense that it is a multilevel test.
  • Diplômes de Français Professionnel (DFP) are issued by Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de Paris and prove your writing and speaking skills in several professional fields: business, health, tourism, catering and international relations.
