CERTIFICATE OF DUTCH
The CNaVT Educatief Startbekwaam profile at B2 level is recognised by nearly all universities and colleges in the Netherlands and Flanders. It is an excellent choice for students seeking to validate their Dutch proficiency with an internationally recognised certificate. For some programmes, a C1 level is required. Admission requirements can vary between universities, colleges, and specific fields of study.
If you plan to take the CNaVT exam as part of a university or college admission process, it is important to verify in advance whether the institution accepts the certificate.
