Staatsexamen Nt2 B1 en B2

The Dutch as a Second Language State Exam (Nt2) is the national language exam for non-native adult learners of Dutch. With the NT2 State Exam Diploma, they can demonstrate that they have sufficient proficiency in the Dutch language to work or study in the Netherlands.

The NT2 State Exam has two levels: Program I (B1) and Program II (B2). Here are the main differences:

• Target Group:

  • B1: Designed for individuals who want to work or study at MBO level (levels 3 or 4). This level is suitable for vocational work.

  • B2: Intended for individuals who wish to work or study at HBO or university level. This level is suited for higher education.

• Language Proficiency:

  • B1: Demonstrates a medium level of Dutch language proficiency. The focus is on practical situations in work, education, and daily life.

  • B2: Demonstrates a higher level of Dutch language proficiency. The focus is on more complex texts and tasks, such as reflective and argumentative writing.

• Access:

  • B1: Provides access to most MBO courses.

  • B2: Opens doors to HBO and university-level courses.

Both exams consist of four parts: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. You don't need to complete Program I before taking Program II.
