Business Dutch for companies and organisations

Business Dutch training for your organisation

Whether you are onboarding a handful of expats or training an entire department — Language Partners has an approach that works. We combine live training sessions with a personal online learning environment. Employees practise during sessions with a trainer — at your office or at one of our locations — and have access to the online platform for months afterwards to continue at their own pace.

Research by Cambridge English and the European Commission consistently shows that employees who speak the local language of their workplace integrate faster, collaborate more effectively and are less likely to leave.

Frequently asked questions about Business Dutch training

What is Business Dutch training for organisations?

Business Dutch training for organisations is tailored Dutch language education designed for international employees working in a Dutch professional environment. At Language Partners, each training programme is fully customised to the participant’s language level, learning goals and working context — delivered in-company or at one of our locations across the Netherlands.

Our employees have different starting levels — is that a problem?

No. Language Partners runs an intake with each participant to determine their current language level. We then group participants by level, or offer individual training where level differences are significant. Groups are formed based on language level, job background and learning objectives.

How do we measure the progress of our employees?

Each participant starts with a clear learning goal based on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). HR receives regular progress reports per employee. Participants also receive an evaluation halfway through the training and again after completion.

How quickly can we start with Business Dutch training?

After an initial conversation, Language Partners typically has a proposal ready within two business days. Training can usually start within a few weeks. Contact us to discuss the options for your organisation.

Where does the Business Dutch training take place?

Language Partners offers Business Dutch training in-company at your office or at one of our eight locations across the Netherlands: Amsterdam, Amersfoort, Breda, The Hague, Rotterdam and Zwolle.

Is Business Dutch training also available for individual employees?

Yes. Language Partners offers both individual and group Business Dutch training. Individual training is available for all language levels and all functions — not just senior professionals. The content, pace and scheduling are fully tailored to each individual participant.
