Private courses cost € 15 per lesson hour. We discuss the cost of a programme funded through DUO or your municipality during the intake.

Not sure what to choose?

We've got you. That's completely normal. You don't need to know your exact level or route. During the intake we look at your goal, your level and your situation.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask before choosing a course.

Private courses currently cost €15 per lesson hour. You pay for every scheduled lesson. On top of that you pay for the course materials: from €50 up to a maximum of €250, depending on the length of the course. For civic integration it depends on your route and how it is paid for (DUO loan, municipality or yourself). For Dutch in the workplace we prepare a quote. During the intake we always give an honest, no-obligation estimate of the total cost first.
Programme I prepares you for level B1 and is aimed at work and vocational education. Programme II takes you to level B2, for moving on to a university of applied sciences or research university. During the intake we look at which programme suits your goal.
Yes. At the start of every month there is an entry point, so you join a group that matches your language level. If the levels within a group drift too far apart, we reshuffle the groups.
For civic integration we sometimes offer online lessons to students on the B1 route. For business training and private lessons we work with hybrid and online lessons.
