ABOUT THE EXAM
NT2 stands for Nederlands als Tweede Taal: Dutch as a second language. The Staatsexamen NT2 is the official state exam, organised by DUO.
It has two levels. Programma I tests B1, often needed for practical work or mbo studies. Programma II tests B2, often needed for hbo, university or higher-level jobs. This preparation is for Programma I (B1).

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
From students who prepared for the NT2 B1 exam with us
“I was quite comfortable speaking Dutch in everyday situations, but exam questions were another thing. The training helped me understand what to expect, especially during the speaking and listening parts. I also liked being able to ask the teacher about things I didn't understand.”
“Writing was my biggest problem. I never knew how much detail to include or how to organise my answers. We practised different tasks and got feedback, which made the whole process much clearer.”
“The best part was practising with real exam-style questions. I finally understood how the exam is structured and what I should pay attention to. The lessons were practical and easy to follow.”
