Don’t let language be the thing that holds you back! 

Our Dutch Migration Programme offers an accelerated 5-month online course designed specifically for students with an Afrikaans background.

Through a dynamic mix of live Zoom classes, lessons on our online academy, and offline assignments, we’ll take you from A1 to B1 in just 20 weeks:

                        • A1 – 6 weeks
                        • A2 – 6 weeks
                        • B1 – 8 weeks

Class days runs from 8pm-10pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings and Tuesdays, Thursdays and the weekend is non-class days, and you will use this time to self study and prepare for the next class.

 It’s the perfect blend to help South Africans confidently pass their Dutch exams.

Important reminder: All language training is fully sponsored as long as you complete your migration journey!
