What is the difference between a self-study course and a group training session?
In a self-study program, you’ll develop your Dutch language skills through an e-learning course that’s available to you for 12 months.

We always start our group classes with a minimum of 6 students, and we limit our group sizes to no more than 12 students.

With a regular course, you take one online or in-person class per week. With an intensive course, you take two online or group classes per week.
