Supporting Documents (Bewijzen) for the ONA Portfolio

As part of your ONA portfolio, you must upload evidence (bewijzen) that shows you’ve actively worked on your orientation to the Dutch labour market. This is essential to complete the Result Cards (Resultaatkaarten) and successfully pass the ONA exam.

Complete Portfolio
You will receive a detailed explanation of each question in all 8 Result Cards, along with multiple answer options. Based on the profession you choose, it will be very easy to match the information and complete your portfolio.

Portfolio Interview
You will be able to prepare for the interview by practicing possible questions based on your personal situation. You can rehearse your answers on your own or with a teacher by booking one or two private lessons.

Examples
You will have access to examples of approved portfolios, featuring a range of professions — from entry-level to highly skilled. These real-life samples will help you understand how to structure your own portfolio effectively, no matter your professional background.

English explanations

All theory is explained in English, making it easier to understand, even if your Dutch is still limited.

A Thoughtfully Designed Course — Built with Purpose

This course was carefully crafted by Elena, a certified language teacher who completed official training specifically for educators preparing students for the ONA exam. You won’t find random links or questionable portfolio samples here — only reliable, well-structured guidance.

Our program is based on carefully curated content, presented in a logical, step-by-step sequence.

We show you exactly where to start and how to link each part of the portfolio so that everything fits together seamlessly, like puzzle pieces. The result? A clear and convincing story that examiners can easily follow.

At every stage of the course, you’ll receive:

  • Detailed explanations for each task

  • Multiple ready-to-use answer examples

  • Flexibility to personalize your answers based on your situation

With the right structure and expert support, you’ll move through the ONA process with confidence and clarity.
