Why choose our Business Dutch Course?

Tailored in-company training

This course is designed to be flexible and responsive to the needs of your organization. Delivered directly to your team, it allows employees to learn together in a setting that’s familiar and convenient.

Focused on professional development

The Business Dutch course is ideal for employees who interact with Dutch-speaking clients, colleagues, or partners. It provides targeted language skills that support more effective communication and understanding in professional contexts.

Fun, social, and energetic classes

Koentact’s classes stand out for their dynamic and engaging atmosphere. After a long day of work, our trainers make the class enjoyable and interactive through role-plays, quizzes, and fun activities. We go beyond the classroom to encourage real-world practice—employees will have the opportunity to practice with a Dutch colleague during role-plays and even participate in Dutch lunches to use their new skills in a social setting. Plus, when the class celebrates progress, the bitterballen are on us! At Koentact, we believe learning should be fun and social!
