Which level do you need?

Every level opens a door

In Andorra, official Catalan is required at different moments of life and work. These are the most common cases:

A1Residence

First renewal

Since April 2026, the official A1 diploma is required for the first renewal of your residence and work permit.

A2Residence

Second renewal

The second renewal asks for A2: you can handle everyday situations in life and at work.

B1Work

Independent user

You communicate independently at work and with the public. It's the natural step after A2 and the foundation for B2.

B2Healthcare & public sector

Professional requirement

Mandatory to practise a regulated health profession (medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, psychology, pharmacy…) and for many public-administration posts: police, firefighters, customs, technical staff and managers.

Indicative requirements under Llei 6/2024 on the official language, Llei 39/2022 on health professions and Decret 339/2024. Always check the current regulations or the job call that applies to you.

Questions about official Catalan

Which Catalan levels do you prepare?
The Andorran government runs the official Catalan-language exams from level A1 to C2 of the Common European Framework of Reference. At Koru we prepare you for A1, A2, B1 and B2.
Which Catalan level do I need to renew my residence?
Since April 2026, the official A1 diploma is required for the first renewal of the residence and work permit, and A2 for the second. From 2029 the requirement extends to other permit types.
Do I need B2 to work in healthcare in Andorra?
Yes. Llei 39/2022 requires the official B2 diploma (or higher) to practise the regulated health professions: medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, psychology, pharmacy, dentistry, speech therapy, optometry, podiatry, dietetics… Temporary permits without B2 exist, but it is then required to renew them.
Which level does the public administration ask for?
It depends on the post. Under Decret 339/2024, many general-administration posts — managers, administrative staff, customs officers, police, firefighters and technical profiles — require B2. The comuns and other public bodies set their own requirements: always check the job call.
How long does it take to prepare?
It depends on your starting point and the level you are aiming for. We begin with a free level test and propose a tailored plan so you reach the exam session with time and confidence.
Where and when can I take the exam?
The exams and sessions are published by the Andorran government. We guide you on the dates, help with registration, and prepare you for the real exam format.
Can the preparation be done online?
Yes. You can prepare in person in Andorra la Vella or fully online, with the same official materials, mock exams and support.
