Defining the real competence of a person in another language is complex considering the various elements taken into consideration: the pronunciation, the expression, the fluency; the intonation, the grammar, the vocabulary...

However, today tools exist to help companies effectively assess the language skills of their future employees. Among those tools, the scale of measurement developed by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ​​(CEFR).

Candidates are thus divided into different levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2. Yet in a professional context, candidates must reach at least the B levels. Being classified at a B1 level means that they are self-reliant in Dutch. They understand the essentials of a conversation regarding familiar topics.

It is from this "threshold" level that they will be able to expand and deepen their own knowledge of Dutch in all contexts.

At a B2 level, they manage to express themselves with ease whether expressing an opinion or systematically supporting an argument.

Category C encompasses bilinguals who perfectly mastered all the subtleties of the language. They easily comprehend everything they read or hear, and they can spontaneously and accurately speak about vague and complex topics.
