Flexible professional language training in Dutch.
Flexible professional language training in Dutch.
Do you want to communicate better with your company’s Dutch-speaking branch? Do you have to negotiate with Dutch clients and prospects? Do you often have meetings with Dutch-speaking colleagues from Flanders? While nearly everyone in business speaks some English or French, a sound knowledge of Dutch is often indispensable.
Dutch language courses
Some specific example courses.
We start with the basics: a course that focuses on business topics such as meetings, presentations, phone calls and e-mails in Dutch. You may be looking for more specific training in Dutch that ties in with your job or function. Our courses in ‘Medical Dutch’ and ‘Dutch for Bank Staff’, for example, help doctors, nursing staff, care professionals, bankers and other financial specialists. Perhaps you work in sales or management and are looking for a course that offers more than just language training. Thanks to CrossKnowledge , we can use your Dutch course to hone your sales, leadership and management skills at the same time.
Your trainer: for more than just the language.
Your Dutch trainer will tailor your course entirely to suit your requirements and pace. You will practice topics that are essential to your particular job. Grammar and vocabulary will be dealt with as appropriate for your goals. But it doesn’t stop there. Learning a language is about more than just grammar rules and vocab. When you learn a new language, what you need most is words and sentences that you can use straight away. Our trainers only deal with the theory when it is really necessary. Most of the training focuses on real-life situations. We teach course participants how to understand Dutch texts, hold a conversation or answer e-mails. Of course you learn this partly in class, but all participants can also access an e-learning platform with an explanation of the grammar and additional practice material.
Virtual learning is very efficient as it can flexibly adapt both to work and private schedules. Despite being undoubtedly the future of training, it is true that this form requires motivation and self-discipline in order to be effective. Because of the lack of fixed timeslots and usually the absence of classmates, one might have the tendency to skip sessions and therefore lose pace. To avoid this, motivation can be boosted up by tailoring the learning content upon items that you really need, that you truly like, and that help improve your skills. My personal experience with the BLCC courses is very positive, having followed German classes for several years and I can express my full satisfaction about the teachers’ professionalism and competence.
“I find it important to speak the language of the country where I’m working so I can hold a simple conversation in that language with my employees. My language teacher is very professional. She adapts the lessons to suit my learning style.”
“Melanie taught me English, with an exclusive focus on my professional field. That means I am now able to do my coaching sessions in Manchester as well. Even my friends and colleagues soon noticed a big improvement in my English!”
“I feel much more comfortable now when on the phone. I can express myself more fluently in French as well when giving presentations and I no longer worry so much about the mistakes I make.”
“I was looking for a course that focused on speaking, in the sales context rather than general speaking skills. BLCC listened perfectly to my specific requirements. The trainer was very knowledgeable.”
“I have regular lessons via Skype and I’m already reaping benefits from those lessons. I recently advanced one level. My French has genuinely improved: I notice the difference in my contact with colleagues, clients and journalists. I’d give BLCC an 11 out of 10!”
“I did a German course for my job, but I found learning German an enriching experience personally as well. What I liked most about the BLCC training was the trainer’s personal touch. She focused completely on my requirements and wishes.”
