The Dutch course for foreign employees teaches students the basics of the Dutch language in three months. They learn to use familiar words and simple sentences. Safety in the workplace is also discussed. Everything is aimed at simplifying communication with other colleagues and making work processes run more smoothly.
The course is supplemented with what is important to you, for example company standards, specific terminology, work culture and / or safety instructions. The basis for these extra lessons is formed by video recordings in your company.
The course is intended for employees from Poland or Romania, for whom a basic knowledge of the Dutch language is required to work well and pleasantly in the Netherlands. Participants are expected to have completed high school education and have computer skills. Other languages of origin on request!
