This is a reminder that as the DLPT5 is released in various languages it becomes the DoD approved test of record for that language. Although the Office of the Secretary of Defense granted a 12 month implementation period for each language which allows us to recertify previous test results instead of a Soldier's first DLPT5 score, this is a one time grace period.
Soldiers who have scored sub 2/2 on the DLPT5 must complete remedial training.
Units need to relook their language programs to ensure the training is geared to the DLPT5. There are multiple sources of authentic materials available to help Soldiers prepare for the test. These include, but are not limited to, Mobile Training Teams (MTTs) from DLIFLC, SCOLA, on-line resources, newspapers,
DLPT5 Familiarization Guides, etc. Please check with your Command Language Program Managers (CLPM) to coordinate materials and training.
Success depends on early preparation.
