Language Training
The central issue of every language training is how to achieve your desired objectives, which are based on what you are capable of now and what you want to be able to do in the future.
If your main aim is to speak the language well, then that will be the focal point of the course. If you want to perfect your grammar, that’s what we will work on. Your objectives determine the training programme content. In other words, you learn what you want to learn. The lessons are organised to suit your schedule, whether that means one two-hour lesson every week or two full-time weeks.
During an intake interview, we will inventory your needs and requirements. We then determine the best structure for the course. This approach enables us to gain a clear picture of what you need in order to do your job well. Many of our trainers are native speakers, but we also have trainers who come from a Dutch background.
Training is coordinated from both Amsterdam and Utrecht. While you are welcome to attend our training sessions at our centre in Utrecht, we also offer a great many in-company courses throughout the Netherlands.
