Discover how in-company Dutch courses in Amsterdam can make a difference for your international employees at work

Are you looking for in-company Dutch courses in Amsterdam (or nearby) and considering Dutch lessons at your office or online?
With over 10 years of experience, we understand better than anyone how important it is for international employees not only to perform well at work, but also to feel involved and at home within your organization and in the Netherlands.

Recent research shows that more than half of the internationals in the Netherlands find it difficult to make Dutch friends (source: Internations.org, Expat Insider 2024). As an employer, you can make a real difference here.

By offering Dutch lessons to your employees right at the workplace, you help them learn the language faster while giving your colleagues a warm welcome, creating genuine connections, and strengthening that all-important team spirit.

Helping your employees feel at home in Dutch life helps your company grow.

That’s why our in-company Dutch courses are more than just language lessons; they’re a way to connect people. We bring Dutch learning straight to your office or online, in a relaxed and familiar setting where your team feels comfortable to learn, laugh, and grow together. Each course is tailored to your company culture and industry, so everything from role plays to everyday phrases is instantly useful in your team’s daily work and conversations. It’s practical, personal, and designed to strengthen both language skills and team spirit.

FAQ

Yes, we use a comprehensive textbook named Nederlands in Gang, with additional exercises tailored to the daily life of your employees.

We meet at your office or online through Zoom. Our teachers typically travel by bike to your location within Amsterdam and nearby areas.

That shouldn’t be a problem. We also teach in Utrecht, Hoofddorp, Schiphol, and other nearby areas. Online is an option as well. Let’s talk and find a solution that works for both!

Usually a maximum of 8 students per class. The reason is that we want to maintain high quality. Are you with more, there are definitely possibilities for larger groups if needed.

For sure! The positive side effects of COVID taught us how to effectively conduct online classes, making it possible to reach your international employees no matter where they are.

We have an online test we can send to assess the levels of your employees and organize groups accordingly.

Absolutely! Provide us with the email addresses of your international employees, and we’ll handle the rest. We can also integrate with your company’s Slack for easy organization and communication. 

No worries! We can send an invoice to each individual student before the course starts, or you can deduct it from their study budget yourself. Once everyone has paid, we can begin. The company can pay its invoice within 30 days. 

Up to 1/5th of the classes can be rescheduled (think of last-minute events, etc.). We do need to know 48 hours in advance. You can find more in the Terms and Conditions that you have agreed upon upfront.

If the teacher is sick, we will cancel the class and add an extra session at the end of the course.

Yes, we always aim to go outside during the last class after an hour. We will talk Dutch in a café and order drinks in Dutch. We hand out the certificates and the first round is on us! If you prefer to stay at the office, that’s not a problem. Read the article in het Parool: “Dutch in Noémie’s style: no clogs, but Ajax “ to see how we teach.

No worries, it happens all the time. We agree with HR upfront on how many classes an employee is allowed to miss. Does your employee want to meet a bit earlier the next lesson to get an explanation on the missed grammar et cetera? Helemaal goed! We are there 15 minutes up front.

Our in-company Dutch courses in Amsterdam are loved by tech companies, international scale-ups, hotels, pharmaceutical brands, and organisations in the innovation sector, basically, any workplace where people from different countries come together. Think of companies like bunq (engineering & R&D teams), global hotel chains, and fast-growing tech companies with developers from over twelve nationalities. In all these settings, the goal goes beyond learning Dutch: it’s about building connection, confidence, and collaboration at work.

Offering an in-company Dutch course is one of the simplest ways to invest in your team’s well-being and connection. It strengthens communication, boosts confidence, and helps international employees feel more at home, both at work and in the Netherlands. Besides faster progress (because lessons are directly linked to daily work life), it also builds stronger teams. Colleagues learn to understand each other not only linguistically but also culturally, creating a more inclusive and positive work environment. Bonus: companies often notice fewer misunderstandings, smoother collaboration, and happier employees who stay longer.
