Netherlands: licensing exam preparation

Health professionals with a diploma from outside the EEA apply to the BIG register (CIBG) for a certificate of professional competence. After diploma assessment by Nuffic or SBB, doctors, dentists and nurses sit a professional content test (BI test); the Commission for Foreign Healthcare Graduates (CBGV) then advises. The AKV test was replaced by language certificates (NT2 B1/B2 or B2+) from 1 January 2024.
