The CNaVT Exam

General Information

The CNaVT is an official international examination in Dutch as a foreign language, designed for Dutch learners around the world.

I have been administering CNaVT exams since 1990, when I was working for the Netherlands Institute in New York. So, you could say I have been around CNaVT for quite a while! ;-)

What I particularly like about the CNaVT is that it is a practical, real-life exam. Passing the exam means that you have demonstrated that you can use Dutch effectively in relevant situations: speaking, listening, reading and writing in specific contexts.

People learn Dutch for many different reasons. You may want to travel around the Netherlands or Belgium, study at a Dutch-speaking university, live in a Dutch-speaking country, or work in a Dutch-speaking environment. That is why the CNaVT offers different exams, each designed for a specific purpose.

You can choose the exam that best matches the way you want to use Dutch.

At Learn Dutch Fast, CNaVT exams are offered in November. Registration takes place between September 21st and October 12th. Please note that registration must be arranged with me first.

I also offer CNaVT exam training, as well as preparation for other Dutch language exams, such as the B2+ exam and the Inburgering exams.

Whether you are preparing for your Dutch exam or aiming for a higher level, I am happy to help you prepare with a practical approach and plenty of personal feedback.
