Civic Integration Exam A2 Training

Until July 2026, you can still take the Civic Integration Exam at level A2 if you lived in the Netherlands before January 2022. This is only possible if you want to become a naturalized citizen.

In this short exam training, you’ll practice with sample speaking and writing exams and receive tips for KNM (Knowledge of Dutch Society).
