Taking a Dutch course

Are you looking for a Dutch course? Then be sure to come to the Dutch Language House Brussels. Our consultants will help you.  

We will look at your needs together: What is your language level? Why do you want to learn Dutch? How much time do you have? Are you looking for a course online or in the classroom?  

We'll inform you about all the options. We will then also be able to register you. 

Welcome to the Dutch Language House

You can visit freely on certain days or book an appointment for an online consultation.

Bear in mind that there may be some waiting time when you come without an appointment (maximum 2 hours). 

Bring valid proof of identity or your residence document.

How does it work?

  1. A consultant will ask you a few questions during a short chat. This helps the consultant to figure out how you learn best.
  2. If you need a language test, the consultant will book an appointment for you. Appointments for tests are always on Thursdays or Fridays at the Dutch Language House. We’ll wait for your results before letting you know where you can take Dutch lessons at your level.
  3. If a language test isn’t required, we’ll give you immediate information about the available classes.
    When is a language test not required? For example, if you already have a file with the Dutch Language House and took a test less than 6 months ago.
  4. Does the proposal suit you? If so, the consultant can enrol you immediately  or give you information about the enrolment process.

Which lessons are available?

Our consultant can register you for Dutch courses in a CVO (centre for adult education) or at Ligo Brusselleer (centre for basic education).

There are

  • courses at all language levels, both oral and written;
  • intensive courses, standard courses and slow-paced courses;
  • online courses and courses in the classroom;

All lessons are given by professional teachers.
