Knowledge levels: 1 = basic familiarisation, 2 = general knowledge, 3 = detailed knowledge. A dash (—) means the topic is not required for that category.
Note: Category A does not require Module 4. In Appendix I the levels are listed under two combined columns — B1 and B3 share identical requirements, as do B2 and B2L.
1 Basic familiarisation
2 General knowledge
3 Detailed knowledge
