Dutch as a second language · NT2

Learning Dutch that really moves you forward

For your civic integration, your state exam, your work or simply to take part fully. You learn Dutch from a teacher who knows what it's like to build a language from scratch, with an online practice package that keeps you sharp between lessons. On location in Tilburg or online.

  • From first words to the NT2 state exam
  • A native or near-native teacher and a personal lesson plan
  • Depending on your situation, sometimes (partly) funded through employer, local council or UWV

What are you learning Dutch for?

One language, several routes to your goal

We determine your starting level in an intake meeting and choose together the route that fits your goal and pace. You progress in line with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and finish with a certificate of the levels you've reached.

01

Civic integration

Meet your civic integration requirement with guidance that fits. We work towards the components of your integration exam — from language to Knowledge of Dutch Society (KNM) — at a pace that suits you. You pay for the course yourself: for civic integration we work with self-paying students; a DUO loan is not available through Bogaers.
