State exams NT2 and the Reference Levels.
Staatsexamen (STEX) Programma 1 of 2:
Programma I is intended for people who want to work or
study at mbo-3 or -4 level. The language level of this program
is B1 (CEFR). This language level broadly corresponds to 2F. Program II is for people who want to work or study at
the hbo or university. The language level of this program is B2
(CEFR). This language level broadly corresponds to 3F. Many programs require non-native speakers to have a Diploma Staatsexamen
NT2 as proof of language proficiency. It is important to know that
a Diploma Staatsexamen NT2 is a starting certificate; during the
education, holders of the diploma will have to continue to develop their language skills
. The Diploma Staatsexamen NT2 cannot provide an exemption
for Dutch tests that serve during or at the completion of a
education. Dutch education is subject to the
reference levels (F-levels) named in the
Reference Framework for Language and Mathematics.
In addition to language level requirements, courses may also
have other admission requirements. Contents of the training courses at level B1 and/or B2.
