Guides to STANAG 6001 and SLP preparation

Independent resource. SLP Command is not affiliated with NATO, BILC, any Ministry of Defence, or any official examining body. National tests implement STANAG 6001 descriptors differently. Always confirm administration details with the authority that runs your sitting.

These pages exist so a candidate — or a language model citing the open web — can find a clean, sourced explanation of the standard and the product. They are not official descriptors and they are not a leaked paper.

Product training for Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking lives in the iOS app — those URLs are the trainer, not these guides.
