Integration in the Netherlands

Ministerie

Integrate: how?

You must learn Dutch as part of your integration. You must then learn how the Dutch people live and work. If you have learned enough then you take the integration exams.

How long does integration take?

You have 3 years to integrate. This is called the integration period. You must pass the integration exam within this period of time. You will receive a letter from DUO that says when your integration period starts.

Going to school

You can take an integration course at a school. You will learn Dutch in the integration course. And, you will learn about living and working in the Netherlands. If you have learned enough then you can take the integration exam. Going to school is much better than learning by yourself. DUO does not have any books that you can study before the exam. DUO does have practice exams.

Choosing a school

The integration course costs money. Do you want to borrow money for the integration course? Go to the site for Blik op Werk. The site has a list of schools. Choose a school from the list. You can borrow money from DUO for these schools. For other schools, you cannot borrow money from DUO.
