If your organisation takes civic integration examinations in the Netherlands, you must be certified. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) must designate you as an examination body.

- Supervision of students
- Quality of your personnel
- Satisfaction of students
- Success rate
If your meet the requirements, your course participants will qualify for a DUO allowance (Education Consolidation Department, DUO). The Education Consolidation Department will also add your organisation to the its list of schools, which students can choose from.
