Language Test ?

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Maybe an explanation of the short cryptic message in post one is needed.
I think the question should be what are your Dutch language skills. Scott has quite rightly pointed out in a previous post that To work in most environments you need good language skills What level is your Dutch?
You can find out here how your British qualifications are equal too in the Dutch systems via this web page.

I know one lady who qualified. It took her around 3 years to get her Dutch up to standard before being made to take an 'update' course, and then she could practice.

If you're dealing with Dutch children or patients, you are going to need total fluency.

Monoglossia rules in the Anglosphere ! The myth continues that "Everyone speaks English. Why should I learn the local lingo ?"
I suppose cynics would say that as a language teacher and interpreter I have a vested interest in promoting the learning and teaching of foreign languages ! Doh !
