Is DELF/DALF the exam you need?

DELF and DALF are widely-recognised diplomas in France's higher education establishments: universities, "grandes écoles"... If you are a foreigner who has studied in a non-French-speaking country, you will be required to take one of these diplomas (usually at least DELF B2). DELF and DALF are also recognised in professional circles, as well as for certain administrative procedures involved in settling in France.
