FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are these the real exam questions?

No. All exercises are original and written by The Dutch Way, in the format of the official exam. We are not affiliated with DUO or the College voor Toetsen en Examens. Also use the free official practice exams — see About the exams.

Can you guarantee that I pass?

Nobody can honestly promise that. The trainer does show you, skill by skill, whether you are ready.

How does the listening work?

Fragments play as audio recordings. Where a recording is not available yet, the most natural Dutch voice on your device reads the fragment (Chrome, Edge or Safari). In exam mode you hear each fragment once.

How do I get access after paying?

You create an account during checkout. After payment you go straight to your trainer; the link is also in your confirmation e-mail and in My account.

Is KNM included?

The KNM trainer is part of the A2 trainer. Doing the B1-route and also need KNM? Get both trainers for €29,99.

Is Programma II (B2) included?

No, this trainer is for Programma I (B1).
