The Alliance Française of Port Elizabeth is a South African non-profit organisation supported by the French Embassy in South Africa.

History

The team is composed of a committee of around 10 members, a director appointed by the French Embassy, staff, and teachers.

The Alliance occupies a Victorian-style house on the historic site of Richmond Hill. It has three classrooms, a café, a gallery and a library. South Africa's former Prime Minister and later President, John Vorster, was once a border guard in the house. He was an attorney in Port Elizabeth prior to his detention in the Baakens Street police station for his Ossewabrandwag organisation activities.

The Alliance is primarily a language school and a French consular agency. In addition to French classes and Xhosa classes, they organise monthly socio-cultural activities.

Official Diplomas

DELF (Diplôme d'etudes en langue française) and DALF (Diplôme approfondi de langue française) are official qualifications delivered by the French Department of Education to certify the competencies of non-French native speakers in the French language.

DELF and DALF qualifications are internationally recognised; they are consistent with international standards for test development and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The DELF and DALF consist of six levels, each independently recognised as a diploma. Candidates can choose their examination according to their level. They may also sit the examinations for more than one diploma during the same examination session.
