Q-mark approved

Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills is a member of the European test organization ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe).

In 2018, the Norwegian test underwent a quality control which resulted in the test receiving a quality stamp (Q-mark).

In 2023, the test underwent another quality control, and the quality stamp was renewed. This means that the Norwegian test meets ALTE's quality requirements for language tests.
