How long does it take to receive the results?
Results are published within 4 to 6 weeks after the collective session. The official diploma is then issued by France Éducation International and delivered to the candidate several weeks to a few months later.
Can I take the DELF online?
No. The DELF-DALF must be taken in person at an accredited centre. Only registration is online via GoDELF. The collective exam (written + audio) and the oral exam take place at the exam centre.
What happens if I am absent on the day of the exam?
No refund is issued in the event of an unjustified absence. Postponement to a later session may be accepted on production of a medical certificate or in the event of force majeure, subject to availability.
Which ID document must I provide?
A valid photo ID document: national identity card, passport, residence permit or driving licence. The name and date of birth on the document must exactly match those of your registration.
Can I cancel my registration and get a refund?
Yes, and you do it yourself from your candidate space ("My exams" › "Cancel my registration"): you see the refund amount before confirming. Within 14 days of registering, the refund is in full; after that, 3 € in fees are deducted; less than 72 hours before the written exam, there is no refund. You can also change the date ("Change the date"): free more than 12 days before the written exam, then 3 € per change. With a medical certificate, a postponement to another session is possible.
What happens if I fail the exam?
You can re-register for a later session as many times as you wish. Each new registration is a separate payment. The minimum pass mark is 50/100 with a minimum of 5/25 per test — scoring 4/25 on one test results in a fail even with 80/100 overall.
Can I register a group of candidates as a school or association?
Yes. Our dedicated school area lets language schools, FLE / literacy associations, apprentice training centres (CFA), local employment missions and community centres register their learners as a group, track payments by quote and retrieve invoices and certificates. To become a partner, create your school account online at godelf.com/school.
