Three steps are required for students to prepare for the Inburgering exam:
Students must do Steps 1 and 2 in order to enrol in Step 3 (unless they already have an upper-elementary level).
The Inburgering exam consists of six parts: Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening, Knowledge of Dutch Society (KNM), and Orientation to the Dutch Labour Market (ONA). Kickstart’s Exam Preparation Course (Step 3) will thoroughly prepare students for all six parts.
Knowledge of Dutch Society (KNM) involves introducing students to the many ways in which Dutch society is organised, as well as exploring Dutch institutions, customs, and behaviour. The new examination requirement ‘Orientation to the Labour Market’ will also be covered.
Orientation to the Dutch Labour Market (ONA) has been incorporated into the exam since 1st January 2015. Preparation for this part of the exam consists of 90 minutes of private lessons in which the teacher provides feedback on the student’s portfolio and coaching for the ONA interview.
