Group Tests
For each exam level, all candidates take the group tests together on the same day at the same time.
The group tests begin at 9 a.m. Candidates should arrive 30 minutes before the start of the group tests. Candidates arriving after the start of the group tests (during the audio file) will NOT be allowed to take the exam.
Individual Tests
For the individual tests, each candidate is scheduled separately. You cannot choose the date or time of your test. Whenever possible, we will try to schedule your individual speaking test on the same day as the group tests. If the number of candidates does not allow us to schedule the individual tests on the same day as the group tests, your individual test may be scheduled another day (before or after the group tests, including Saturdays, within two weeks of the group tests).
NOTE
- The dates, times and locations of exams will be sent to candidates by email approximately one week prior to the week of DELF-DALF exams taking place.
- The number of spots for each exam is limited. If there are no more spots available or if it is past the registration deadline, contact educprog@sfu.ca.
Location
The exam sessions generally take place on one of the campuses: SFU Surrey, SFU Vancouver (Harbour Centre) or SFU Burnaby.

Can anyone take the exam?
The DELF tout public and the DALF are intended for adults and young adults whose first language is not French (born in a non French-speaking country and not in possession of a teaching certificate for secondary or postsecondary) and are seeking an assessment of their language proficiency for personal or professional reasons. These exams are also intended for current or future students at SFU or UBC.
Candidates can take the same exam as many times as necessary, until they pass.
However, if you already obtained a diploma and want to take the same level exam again, you must agree to have your previous diploma revoked. A written statement is required before taking the exam. Once your previous diploma revoked, whether you pass or fail the exam subsequently, your previous diploma will no longer be valid.
