DELF Diplomas

The DELF Diplomas are the internationally recognized official French diplomas, awarded by the French Ministry of National Education. They favor international mobility at an academic level, since they allow the candidate to access French-speaking universities, as well as at a professional level since they represent added value in an increasingly competitive world. These diplomas do not have an expiration date. The Alliance Française of Panama and that of David are the only authorized centers in Panama to perform these exams.
