Certificate Dutch as a Foreign Language
What and for whom?
The CNaVT exam is the official, international exam of Dutch as a Foreign Language for all who learn Dutch all over the world. The Catholic University of Leuven organises the exam. The Dutch Language Union has commissioned this collaboration. In May and November we offer the opportunity to earn your certificate ‘Dutch as a Foreign Language’.
The certificate is officially recognized by most secondary schools, universities and companies in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Why and which exam to take?
By passing an exam a language learner proves that he or she has mastered enough Dutch to be able to speak it, listen, read and write in certain contexts. People learn Dutch for a variety of reasons: to go on holiday in the Netherlands or Belgium for example. Or to study, live or work in a Dutch-speaking environment. For this reason
the CNaVT has developed different profile exams. The language learner can choose which profile (exam) suits his or her needs best. One can make a choice out of the 5 following:
