DALF C2 preparation

• Report back faithfully on the content of a dense document
• Reword and develop in a formal register
• Defend an argued position before a panel
• Master the length and pace of each test
• Walk into the exam with confidence, on familiar ground: the place, the format and the timing
• Know where you stand, and whether the coming session is the right one for you

Working from the documents

Listening to and reading demanding material: grasping the thesis, the nuances and the unsaid, taking usable notes.

Production

Reporting back then developing your own view, in writing and aloud. Work on rewording, lexical precision and register.

Facing the panel

Sustaining a point of view, accepting contradiction and answering it without rigidity.

• A day in a group, led by a trainer from the centre
• A day spent in the centre where you will sit the exam, under the ordinary conditions of our classes: on exam day you will walk into a building you already know
• Full written practice, with individual feedback on your work
• A mock oral in front of the group: two or three candidates take it, the others watch the performance and the trainer's analysis of it
• The working materials for the day

Booking is done online from your candidate area, up to the day before, subject to available seats. Confirmation is immediate once payment is made.

The preparation is offered to candidates entered for the exam session concerned. It commits you to nothing beyond the day itself: you remain free to sit your exam at the centre of your choice.

The day is built on practice papers and published past papers. It does not reproduce exam conditions and at no point uses the paper for the coming session.

Every participant receives individual feedback on their written work.

The oral is worked on as a mock in front of the group: two or three candidates take it, then the trainer goes over their performance with everyone. Participants therefore do not all sit the oral individually — the exercise is worth as much to those watching, who see what is expected and what costs marks.

At the end of the day the trainer reviews the work produced, so that each person can decide whether to sit the coming session or wait for the next one. It is a view based on what was done during the day, not a prediction.

This day is a preparation: it gives rise to no official mark, does not replace the exam and says nothing about the result. No pass is guaranteed.

If you have a disability, contact us before booking: we will look with you at the adjustments possible for the preparation day, as well as those provided for the exam itself.

This preparation day is recent. Attendance and satisfaction rates will be published here as soon as the first sessions have taken place.

Yes, and that is exactly what the end-of-day review is for. Write to examen@godelf.com to ask for the change: it depends on a seat being available in a later session, and the request must reach us at least 48 hours before the exam.
