The DELF Junior is a specially adapted version of the DELF diplomas for young people aged from 12 to 17 years. It is also open to all young French citizens who reside in a non-francophone country and who are schooled in local institutions.

The junior version of DELF has the same structure as the standard DELF (Diplôme Elémentaire de Langue Française/Diploma in French language). Only the topics are different: the materials take into account the interests of young people. Note that it can only be taken by children of secondary-level age. The diploma awarded is internationally recognised and valid for life.
