Group courses

During group courses participants can hone their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, practice grammar, and systematically and rapidly build up vocabulary.

The courses use high-quality, accredited teaching methods that have proven successful through many years of use and are supplemented with carefully selected, up-to-date relevant resources and materials.

Evening & Daytime courses

All evening courses start in October, and new daytime Dutch and English courses start every month. Visit the website for more details about the group courses and other information.

This enables participants to reach a high working level in a very short time, developing their chosen language thorough practical skills.
