A2 and B1 Inburgering Preparation Are Now Complete

B1 inburgering preparation is now complete at Dutch Online.


Learners can now prepare for the Dutch integration exams at either A2 or B1 level. Both routes combine a full Dutch language course with focused preparation for the individual exam components.


This means you do not need to study the language in one place and look for separate exam materials somewhere else.


You can first build the Dutch you need, then practise the type of questions and tasks you will face during the exams.

A2 and B1 are different routes

Not everyone preparing for inburgering follows the same route.


Some learners need to take the language exams at A2. Others work towards B1 as part of their personal integration plan.


Before choosing a course, check which route applies to you. You can find this information in Mijn Inburgering or ask your municipality.


Once you know your required level, you can choose the matching inburgering preparation inside Dutch Online.

What is included

Both the A2 and B1 routes include preparation for:


Reading

Listening

Writing

Speaking

KNM


Each part explains what to expect and gives you time to practise before starting the full practice exams.


There are six complete practice exams for every exam component at both levels. Across A2 and B1, Dutch Online now includes 60 full practice exams.


The goal is not to memorize a few example questions. You need to understand the language well enough to deal with different topics, wording and situations.

Feedback on writing and speaking

Writing and speaking are difficult to practise alone.

You can complete a reading exercise and check whether your answer was right. With speaking and writing, it is harder to judge your own work.

For writing tasks, you receive feedback on your answer and can compare your text with a model answer. The feedback looks at points such as completeness, grammar, word order and clarity.

Speaking tasks also include feedback, model answers and example audio. You can first give your own answer, then compare it with a clear example.

You do not need to give a perfect answer. You need to answer the question clearly and show enough Dutch for the required level.

MAP and PVT are included in the B1 route

The B1 route also includes preparation for MAP and PVT.

MAP focuses on work and participation in the Netherlands. Topics include looking for work, applying for jobs and understanding how employment works.

PVT covers Dutch values, rights, freedoms and responsibilities.

These modules are part of the wider integration process, so we did not want the B1 course to stop at language exam preparation.

Learn Dutch before practising the exam

Practice exams help most when your Dutch is already close to the required level.

If you are still learning basic sentence structure, vocabulary and listening skills, repeating exam questions alone will not solve the problem.

That is why both routes include the full language course.

A learner working towards A2 can follow the A1 and A2 material before moving deeper into exam practice. A learner working towards B1 can continue through the B1 course and prepare for longer texts, more detailed answers and less predictable conversations.

You can move between the language course and exam preparation based on what you need.

Included in Full Access

The complete A2 and B1 inburgering preparation is included in the Dutch Online Full Access subscription.

There are no separate fees for the practice exams, writing feedback, speaking feedback, MAP or PVT.

You can start with the level test if you are unsure about your current Dutch. After that, choose the course and inburgering route that match your level and official requirements.

Start preparing at the right level

The difference between A2 and B1 is more than a harder vocabulary list.


At A2, you deal mainly with familiar daily situations and short, clear communication.


At B1, you need to understand longer texts, explain your thoughts in more detail and handle less predictable situations.


Preparing at the correct level saves time and gives you a more realistic idea of what the exam expects.


Check your official route first. Then start with the Dutch you already know and work forward from there.
