“A personal, highly professional approach. The course was entirely tailored to my learning objectives. Using my own documents, we looked at where my pitfalls lie. We did plenty of exercises, all combined with clear explanations from a skilled trainer. Afterwards I was given a number of documents to continue working with. I found this very pleasant.”

“The course was a good refresher for me! The everyday issues you run into and think ‘How did that work again?’ are discussed and dealt with in detail. On top of that, everything is well organised: the service, the contact between participant and organisation/trainer, the materials, etc. In short: an excellent course!”

Frequently asked questions about Dutch Spelling and Grammar in-company

Where does the in-company course Dutch Spelling and Grammar take place?

Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.

Can the content be tailored to our organisation?

Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.

How large can the group be?

That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.

What does Dutch Spelling and Grammar in-company cost?

You get a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quotation. For a group this works out cheaper than registering everyone individually. For comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs EUR 625,- excl. VAT per participant.

Can the course be delivered in English?

Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.

Do participants receive a certificate?

Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.

How do I request a quote?

Via the quote form: state the course, the number of participants and roughly where and when you would like it. An adviser will then contact you.

How long does the Dutch Spelling and Grammar course take and what does it cost?
The Dutch Spelling and Grammar course lasts one day. You follow the course in a classroom setting in a small group, guided by an experienced trainer. In a single course day you brush up your knowledge of the current spelling rules, verb spelling, linking letters and grammar. Course materials and a certificate of participation are included. You will find the current price on the course page.
What prior knowledge do I need for the Dutch Spelling and Grammar course?
All you need is a good command of the Dutch language. No specific prior education is required. The course is suitable for anyone who deals with internal or external communication in Dutch at work, such as e-mails, letters, quotations or reports. Whether you are an employee, a manager or self-employed: you can join straight away and brush up your knowledge of spelling and grammar.
Who is the Dutch Spelling and Grammar course suitable for?
The Dutch Spelling and Grammar course is suitable for anyone who deals with Dutch-language communication at work, such as e-mails, letters, quotations or reports. Think of office staff, secretaries, communications officers and managers. The course is classroom-based. A good command of the Dutch language is sufficient as prior knowledge.
Which topics are covered during the Dutch Spelling and Grammar course?
During this classroom course you cover all the important spelling and grammar rules. Think of the linking letters -n- and -s-, verb spelling (-d, -t, dt), accent marks, dieresis marks, hyphens, capital letters, writing words as one word or two, abbreviations and the conjugation of English verbs. You also learn to formulate difficult sentences more clearly, so that your texts come across as error-free and professional.
Can the Dutch Spelling and Grammar course also be taken in-company?
Yes, the Dutch Spelling and Grammar course can also be run in-company. Your organisation then receives a tailored course, geared to the practical examples and learning objectives of your team. Think of e-mails, quotations or customer letters from your own working environment. An intake takes place beforehand, so that the programme matches the level and the writing tasks of the participants.
Do you receive a certificate after the Dutch Spelling and Grammar course?
Yes, you will receive a certificate of participation afterwards. This shows that you have taken the classroom course and have brought your knowledge of the current Dutch spelling and grammar rules up to date. The certificate is a useful addition to your CV or LinkedIn profile and shows that you invest in error-free business communication.
When should you choose a classroom Dutch Spelling and Grammar course instead of an online spellchecker or language tool?
A spellchecker corrects individual mistakes, but does not explain why something is wrong. As a result, you keep having the same doubts about the linking -n, verb spelling (-d/-t/-dt), English verb conjugations or the correct spelling of 'per se'. In Learnit's classroom-based Dutch Spelling and Grammar course you are given an explanation of the rules behind the spelling, including the spelling changes of recent years. You practise with the trainer and ask questions about texts from your own working practice. Choose this course if you regularly write business letters, e-mails, quotations or reports and want to remove your doubts at the source. For occasional use a tool will do; for professional communication the course offers lasting insight.
What is the difference between this Dutch Spelling and Grammar course and a writing course or Business Dutch?
The Dutch Spelling and Grammar course focuses specifically on the rules of correct language: spelling, verb conjugation, linking letters (-n- and -s-), capitals, hyphens, accent marks and the conjugation of English verbs. The aim is to write and correct texts faultlessly according to the official spelling rules. A writing course or Business Dutch course goes a step further: there you learn text structure, writing for your target audience, tone and the structure of e-mails, letters or reports. Spelling is one element there, not the core. Choose this course if you mainly want to know how it works again with dt-errors, writing words separately or as one, or the correct spelling of per se. The course is taught in the classroom. You will also be given tools to make difficult sentences more readable.
