Intensive courses Dutch and English
If you want to learn Dutch or English in a short amount of time, our intensive courses are the perfect solution for you.
Our intensive programs have smaller groups than our weekly courses: a maximum of five persons can participate. Course costs include study material, lunch and a certificate.
The course takes two weeks and is given from 10am to 2:30pm with a short break and lunch in between.
If you prefer to have full control over the time and duration of the classes, then private lessons may be an interesting alternative.
