Frequently Asked Questions
- Inburgering course
- Payment
- General
The answer to this question is different for everyone and depends on your current language level, mother tongue, affinity with languages and practice outside of the classroom. From our own experience, it is possible to move from one language level to the next in just 20 hours of private lessons.
Great that you want to take this time to fully immerse yourself in preparing for your inburgering exam! As you are free to schedule classes the way they work for you, an intensive course is definitely one of the possibilities. By taking private lessons every day, you can truly speed up the learning process and get fully ready and prepared for your integration exam A2 or B1 in no time.
Yes, we do. If following classes online isn’t convenient for you, you can choose to take offline Dutch lessons in Amsterdam, Haarlem or Leiden. Please note that the tutor’s travel expenses are added to the standard lesson price.
Yes, we do. Our teachers have experience both with helping to prepare for the inburgering exam as well as the NT2 exam. More questions about this? Feel free to get in touch with us.
All of our inburgering course packages include VAT, our customized lesson materials, and of course your very own private teacher.
Sure! If your employer is paying for your lessons, you can bill your employer directly or make the payment under your name.Â
Even though we are convinced that you won’t need to, we offer the possibility to get a full refund of your remaining credits up to the third lesson of your inburgering course. No worries, no questions asked. We’d also be happy to find you an alternative teacher at any time.
If you would like to obtain a permanent residence permit, want to become a Dutch citizen through naturalization, or if integration is required from you, you’ll have to take the civic integration exam. The exam consists of six parts: reading, writing, listening, speaking, Kennis van de Nederlandse Maatschappij (KNM), and ONA (Oriëntatie op de Nederlandse Arbeidsmarkt). A Dutch Ready inburgering course is particularly suited for learners who have completed higher education.
Currently, there are exams on two different levels: the inburgering exam A2 and the inburgering exam B1. Which one you need to sit depends on the law that applies to you. If that is the Wet inburgering 2013, you’ll have to take the A2 exam. In case of the Wet inburgering 2021, you’ll be required to take the civic integration exam on level B1. You can read more practical details on CEFR levels and preparation in our blog on preparing for the inburgering examen.
Payment is to be made in advance by bank transfer or Ideal. You can pay the full amount of the course either in 1 go, or choose to pay in terms We will of course provide you with an invoice.
Even better: Dutch lessons are completely tax free as determined by the Dutch government. Easy as that!
Definitely. All we need are your company’s invoice details and the email address of the person handling finances. The invoice for your Dutch lessons will then get sent directly to them.
Lesson credits are valid for 3-9 months, depending on the package you choose. Within these 3-9 months you have the freedom to schedule lessons when and where you want, making it possible to pause your course for a few weeks should that become necessary. Simply can’t find a way to complete your course in time? We’ll be happy to discuss the possibilities of extending your credits whenever necessary.
If your goal is to speak with confidence we’re here to help. To learn effectively you need to embrace making mistakes and truly become interested in what you’re trying to learn. Our tutors create a safe learning environment and guide you towards exercise material that is relevant to your personal interests.
Lessons take place online, or at your home or office. Whichever you prefer. If you’re the adventurous type, some of our tutors are happy to show you the city during your Dutch lessons as well.
You get to decide together with your teacher which online platform works best for the both of you. This can range from Teams to Zoom to Google Meet.
The platforms we use vary from Google Meet to Zoom to Teams. It’s really up to you and your teacher to find one that fits both of you best. In terms of content, through use of screen sharing, combined workspaces and the like we’re able to offer a learning experience much like face-to-face lessons. All with the benefits of being online.
During your intake you can decide when and where you want lessons. You also decide lesson length and frequency, though we do recommend 2 lessons of 1.5 hours each week for the best results. Lessons are planned directly with your tutor and can be cancelled up to 48 hours in advance.
We’ll always try our best to find a tutor for your preferred time and location. If we can’t find a fitting tutor, we’ll suggest alternative lesson scheduling.
Yes. Finding the right chemistry is key. That’s why we find it important that you get to know your tutor. If your tutor’s style isn’t a great fit, let us know. We’ll pair you with a new tutor free of charge. We’ll always help you find the perfect replacement so you can make the most of your lessons.
Our first question would be: how much homework do you want? Some of our students simply can’t find the time in their busy lives and that is absolutely ok! We work based on your schedule and not the other way around. Want to keep practicing outside of the lessons? Your teacher will discuss with you the amount and type of homework that is suitable for you.
We definitely can! Our teachers have plenty of experience with preparing students for their Dutch language exams. We can determine your current level together before the start of the online course, where after we help you gain the knowledge you still need to pass your exam.
Don’t worry, you won’t. Our Dutch lessons can be cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours in advance. Cancellations within 48 hours will be billed in full. Also, you can decide your own lesson time, so lessons will always be convenient in your busy schedule.
We offer the possibility to choose a 10-, 20-, 40-, or 90-hour lesson package. As you decide on the frequency and length of your Dutch lessons, your course length can vary from 2 weeks up to 9 months. That’s up to you! Your lesson credit is available for 4-9 months depending on your lesson package. Each package includes at least 6 weeks more than necessary, so you have plenty of time to complete your Dutch course.
