Parents wishing to enrol their children in a Dutch-speaking school or nursery can make an appointment for a free language test.
You can also take other certification tests at the Dutch Language House Brussels. Those tests are paying:
You do not know which certificate you need? Ask the organisation where you have to submit it before taking the test.
You do not need official proof of your level of Dutch but you (or your employer) want to know your level of Dutch? Then you can take a level test. The duration depends on your level. This test does not give you official proof, but it does give you reliable test results on paper.
Do you have a question?
During the screening, we will test your spoken Dutch free of charge.
First part: In the first part, we test reading and listening skills in Dutch. The test is numerical and consists of multiple choice questions. The test takes about 2 hours. Did you pass? Then you can immediately make an appointment for the second part of the test.
Second part: The second part of the test consists of writing and speaking exercises. This part also takes about 2 hours.
Within three weeks we will send you the result by post with the attached certificate if you have passed.
Failed? Then you can take a normal level test and enrol in a Dutch language course. You can make an appointment via our website or you can visit us during opening hours. After three months, you can take the certification test again.
If you are dissatisfied with the procedure or the result of a certification test, you can file an appeal free of charge.
