[Book an intake](https://www.conrado.nl/en/aanmelden) [Email your question](mailto:info@conrado.nl) Frequently asked questions ## What people ask before choosing a course. What does a course at Conrado cost? 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. What is the difference between NT2 State Exam Programme I and II? 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. Can I join part-way through? 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. Do you offer online lessons too? 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. ## Why learn at Conrado? ### 20 years of experience A language school for non-native speakers in Amsterdam-Noord and Amstelveen. ### Recognised quality Accredited by Blik op Werk, the Inburgeren quality mark and NRTO. ### Small groups Personal attention for every student. ### Practical Dutch You learn Dutch you can use straight away at home, at work and at school.
