Responsibility

Who writes and checks the content

Frank Schutte is a software developer and the creator of BibPrep. He writes and checks BibPrep's public exam guides. He made the first version for his partner while she was preparing for the Basisexamen inburgering buitenland. BibPrep is not an official exam authority.

Sources

How official sources are selected

Exam rules and other changing facts are checked against primary sources from IND, DUO, NetherlandsWorldwide.nl, and Naar Nederland. Each factual guide links to the sources used for that page. Blogs and competitor pages are not treated as primary sources for exam requirements.

Review dates

When pages are checked

Each factual guide shows the date of its latest check. BibPrep reviews changing facts when official guidance changes, during content audits, or after a correction is reported. Prices, registration steps, exemptions, exam formats, results, validity, and pass requirements receive a new check before their date is updated.

Practice material

How official facts and BibPrep exercises are separated

Pages name official public preparation material when it is used. Original exercises are identified as BibPrep practice. BibPrep does not present practice scores as official exam results.

Corrections

How to report a problem

Email with the page URL and the information you believe is wrong or outdated. We check the report against a primary source before changing the page and its review date.

Independence

BibPrep is an independent service

BibPrep is not affiliated with Naar Nederland, the Dutch government, IND, or DUO. Official sources remain authoritative for rules, fees, exemptions, and registration.
