On Thursday, April 30, 2026, the Cultural Space of the Alliance Française de Montréal hosted a memorable and emotional evening: the DELF–DALF diploma ceremony, celebrating candidates from the 2025 examination sessions.
This special event brought together successful candidates, their families, and the Alliance Française team to celebrate a significant milestone — the successful completion of internationally recognized French diplomas.
The event was attended by official examiners and supervisors from DELF–DALF examination sessions, whose ongoing commitment plays a key role in supporting candidates throughout the examination process. Before the diploma presentation and speeches, the evening also featured an interactive icebreaker activity led by Emeline Pasquet, in charge of Operations at AFMTL.
The event was attended by Christophe Brayet, General Director of the Alliance Française de Montréal, and Maud Bachelard, in charge of the teaching team. The ceremony also featured speeches by:
- Aïcha El Azrak, Head of DELF–DALF Central Management at the Embassy of France in Canada
- Marianne Lépinoit, President of the Board of the Alliance Française de Montréal
- Kelly Goudin, in charge of Group Courses and Certifications
Their speeches highlighted the importance of DELF–DALF diplomas as both personal and professional achievements, as well as their growing presence in Canada and the importance of supporting candidates throughout their French learning journey.
The ceremony brought together 20 certified DELF–DALF graduates representing all levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), from beginner (A1) to advanced mastery (C2).
During the evening, each graduate also had the opportunity to take an individual photo with Marianne Lépinoit and Aïcha El Azrak, creating a memorable moment to celebrate this milestone together. Each diploma reflects not only a level of proficiency, but also a journey of dedication, discipline, and passion for the French language.
Surrounded by their loved ones, the DELF–DALF certificate holders celebrated this accomplishment in a warm and inspiring atmosphere.
The DELF (Diplôme d’Études en Langue Française) and DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) are official diplomas awarded by the French government. They:
- certify French proficiency from A1 to C2
- are recognized internationally
- are valid for life
The Alliance Française de Montréal is an accredited examination centre, offering both exam sessions and preparation courses throughout the year.
For many candidates, obtaining a DELF / DALF diploma represents much more than passing an exam.
It can mark:
- a personal accomplishment
- a valuable professional qualification
- an important step in an academic or integration journey
Congratulations to all graduates
The Alliance Française de Montréal warmly congratulates all graduates once again!
We are proud to support learners at every stage of their learning experience and to celebrate these meaningful accomplishments together. We would also like to thank the entire team and volunteers for their engagement and contribution to the success of this event.
