Alongside your language exams, the Wet inburgering 2021 includes two parts you do at your municipality: the participation statement programme (PVT) and the Labour Market and Participation Module (MAP). Both are compulsory, even if you do not intend to work. DUO sends your language and KNM results; PVT and MAP results come from your municipality.

The PVT

The participation statement programme is a short series of sessions about Dutch society: fundamental rights, freedoms, duties. You finish it by signing the participation statement. It is not an exam — you cannot fail — but you do have to complete it.

The MAP

  • You explore how the Dutch labour market works and what your experience is worth here.
  • It includes a practical element: a workplace, internship or volunteering, arranged via your municipality.
  • You finish with a conversation at the municipality about what you learned.

What you arrange yourself

Your municipality organises PVT and MAP, but finding a placement for the MAP is often partly down to you. Ask early: it takes time, and it falls inside the same three years as your exams.

ماذا يعني هذا لك

  • Ask your municipality straight away when PVT and MAP are scheduled in your programme.
  • Start looking for a MAP placement early.
  • Keep the confirmations for both alongside your exam certificates.
