Nederlands B2 — the level
your profession
starts asking for.
B2 is where Dutch stops being spoken language plus grammar. Nominalisations to decode, claim strength to calibrate, beknopte bijzinnen to write — and the working registers of a casusbespreking, a dossier, a risicotaxatie and an advice letter. Fifty-six days aimed at Staatsexamen NT2 Programma II and at the language demand inside the AKV-toets.
What actually changes at this level
The plan, ticked off as you go ✓
Eight weeks: six of new material, two of full mocks — every skill twice, to the clock. Tap a day when it is done — the sidebar and the library homepage both keep the count.

Say the Dutch out loud from the English before you flip — recognition is not recall. Mark anything you produced correctly but slowly as hard: at a counter, slow is wrong.

Articles in colour: de · het. Learn every noun with its article attached — de/het decides the relative pronoun and the adjective ending later. Tap a word to hear it, select it for the dictionary.

Each scene has an outcome: a job, a prescription, a repair, a place in a school. Read your side out loud, then cover the Dutch and rebuild it from the English.
NT2 Programma II — and the AKV-toets on the BIG route
Programma II certifies Dutch at B2 for higher education and professional work; each part is booked and passed on its own. For a foreign-trained psychologist it also feeds the AKV-toets — general knowledge, skills and Dutch professional communication — which sits on the route to BIG-registratie alongside the vakinhoudelijke toets. Requirements change: verify the current route with BIG-register/CIBG, DUO and your own diploma assessment before booking anything. Sixteen mock items below. 🎯
B2 lets you practise. C1 lets you teach, chair, and write the advice.
C1 is where correctness stops being the measure and choice takes over: which of six verbs for “said”, which particle carries your stance, whether a dossier sentence will still hold up in five years. Volume five is built around the Dutch of supervision, teaching, peer review and the promotieverdediging.
