Since 1986, and still with the same conviction
Bogaers was founded in 1986 by Jolanda van der Meijden, originally a teacher of French and Dutch. Since 1986 Bogaers has been helping learners, companies and organisations — in 2026 we celebrate 40 years. And the same still holds true: we determine your starting level together, follow your progress closely and adjust the programme whenever needed.

Quality & the NRTO quality mark
Bogaers Taleninstituut is affiliated with the NRTO, the trade association for private training providers in the Netherlands. The NRTO quality mark shows that we work to clear quality requirements. For our learners and clients this means we communicate clearly about training courses, prices, learning goals and terms.
We think it is important that learners know what to expect: expert teachers, clear learning outcomes, careful guidance and agreements that are honoured. The quality mark also requires attention to customer satisfaction, continuous improvement of processes and careful handling of information.
For Bogaers, the NRTO quality mark is therefore not a formality but an important part of professional language education. Still unhappy about something? We are happy to resolve it together — our complaints procedure is set out in the general terms and conditions.
