B1 — Threshold

Prepare for the Polish B1 Exam

The B1 certificate proves you can communicate in everyday situations in Poland — shopping, work, healthcare, and public services. It's the most common requirement for permanent residency.

What B1 means for you

At B1, you can understand the main points of clear speech on familiar topics, deal with most travel and daily situations, write simple connected texts, and describe experiences and events. For many immigrants in Poland, B1 is the key that unlocks residency and full participation in daily life.
