About STANAG 6001 & NATO:


* A STANAG, or STANdardisation AGreement, is an international military standard created by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) for regulating equipment, procedures, tactics, training and just about everything that affects how armed forces from different countries work together on operations and exercises.

 

STANAG 6001 is a language proficiency scale designed to allow comparisons of language ability in different countries.

 

There is no one official exam for the STANAG 6001 levels and countries which use the scale produce their own tests and are responsible validating their tests in terms of the STANAG 6001 levels.

 

The original version of STANAG 6001 was created in 1976 and this document was modified in 2003.
