NT2 Dutch State Exam Preparation: Staatsexamen NT2
Would you like to prepare effectively for the Dutch State Exam NT2?
At The Dutchess, you receive professional online NT2 exam training, fully tailored to the requirements of NT2 Program I (B1) and NT2 Program II (B2).
With the NT2 certificate, you demonstrate that your Dutch language skills are sufficient to work or study in the Netherlands. The NT2 diploma is officially recognised and accepted by employers, educational institutions and government authorities.
What Is the NT2 Dutch State Exam?
The NT2 State Exam (Nederlands als tweede taal) is intended for non-native speakers who need Dutch at a professional or academic level.
There are two exam programs:
NT2 Program I – Level B1
This program is suitable if you want to:
- follow secondary vocational education (MBO);
- work in the Netherlands in a practical or vocational role.
NT2 Program II – Level B2
This program is required if you want to:
- enrol in higher professional education (HBO) or university (WO);
- work in an academic or highly skilled professional environment.
The NT2 diploma shows your (future) employer that you are able to communicate fluently in Dutch at B1 or B2 level.
