Hello everyone,
After evaluating my personal circumstances, it appears I need to complete a social integration course and provide proof of a Level A2 in either French or Dutch.
Following some research, I have a few questions:
1. Exemption Exam from the Social Integration Course: I came across some Reddit discussions about an exemption exam, suggesting that I might not need to complete the full 60-hour course. However, most sources specifically mention the requirement for citizenship as "completing a social integration course" rather than just "taking a test". Does anyone know if the exemption test is accepted for citizenship applications?
2. Course Language in BAPA (French): Living in Brussels, I wonder if BAPA offers the option to take the Social Integration Course and its test in English? I noticed that BON (Dutch) offers multiple language options for the social integration course, which leads me to my next question.
3. Language Consistency for These Two Documentations: If I enroll in the social integration course at BON (which is Dutch-based), would I be required to learn Dutch and further to provide a dutch A2 test? In essence, can I complete the social integration course with BON and later provide a French A2 certificate from another institution? Or must all documentation be consistent in language choice, i.e., all in Dutch or all in French?
I appreciate any guidance on this. Thank you.
