what Is diploma C2 equivalent to? is it a degree or mastres degree? please I look forward to your feedback. My employer wants to know.
If you’re studying French to get a job or into a degree program, you’ll eventually need to obtain official certification of your level. DILF, DELF, and DALF are the official French language diplomas for non-native speakers administered by France’s ministry of education, CIEP – Centre international d’études pédagogiques.
For more info, take a look at our DELF/DALF series which includes practical information and tips for preparing to take these French proficiency exams.

Bonjour -
Great question! It's not equivalent to any college degree. The C2 (and all the other levels) are a measure of language proficiency. C2 indicates that you have near-native ability in the language, which means that you've studied it for, very approximately, 1,200 hours.
