Course types at Business Talen Rotterdam
Business-oriented language courses for professionals
Every professional learns in their own way. Some benefit from the dynamics of a group, while others learn fastest in a one-on-one setting. Some want to master a language in a short time; others prefer a calm, structured programme.
At Business Talen Rotterdam BV, we therefore offer multiple training formats — all tailored, practice-oriented, and fully aligned with your goals, schedule, and starting level.

Whether you choose an on-site group course, private lessons at your office, an intensive crash course, or online language training: you always start with a free level assessment. This allows us to know exactly where you stand and what you need. With over 37 years of experience and a team of qualified native-speaking teachers, we know how to find the right approach for every situation.
On-site Group Course

The teacher comes to your company and teaches a small group of colleagues. This is not only practical it also creates recognition: the subject matter directly connects to your industry, your client communication, and your team's daily work.
Before the course begins, the teacher individually meets each participant through a 15-minute conversation, followed by a 30-minute written test. Based on those results, the teacher puts together a group programme tailored to the starting level and learning objectives of all participants. Each participant also has the opportunity to indicate which areas they would like to focus on.

Private On-site Language Course

The private language course is the most personal and flexible way to learn a language. You have the teacher's full attention and learn exactly what you need — no unnecessary material, no pace that doesn't suit you. The lesson is entirely tailored to your field of work and learning goals, whether you want to give presentations, write professionally, or need a language for daily client contact.
The teacher comes to your office, or you attend lessons at our training centre in Capelle aan den IJssel. The time is arranged by mutual agreement. Before the course begins, the teacher conducts an individual 15-minute intake with you, followed by a 30-minute written level assessment. Based on that, your teacher draws up a personalised programme.
Private lessons are particularly suited to business professionals who want to develop targeted skills for meetings, presentations, or negotiations; to expats who want to learn Dutch quickly; and to anyone who values personal attention and a flexible lesson schedule.

Intensive Language Course

Do you need to communicate in a foreign language quickly? Then intensive language training is the way to go. In a short period of time, you build a solid linguistic foundation, enabling you to speak and write confidently even under pressure. A full intensive programme consists of 20 lessons of 1.5 hours per week. It's a demanding schedule — and that's exactly the point.
During the free introductory lesson, your teacher assesses whether intensive language training is feasible and worthwhile for you. If a fully intensive programme is too demanding, we offer the semi-intensive language course as an alternative: you learn at an accelerated pace, but with more room for consolidation and lasting language skills. The programme is always put together in consultation and takes your specific goals into account — whether that involves presentations, professional writing, or specialised terminology.

Online Language Course

Flexible, effective, and without any travel time: with online language training, you follow your lessons wherever and whenever it suits you. Whether you work from home, travel frequently for business, or simply prefer remote lessons, our teachers are fully available online too.

Online language training is available in all formats: as a private lesson, as a group course, and as part of an intensive or semi-intensive programme. You choose the format that best suits your situation; we take care of the rest.

Course Locations
At Business Talen Rotterdam BV, you choose where you take your lessons. Our teachers are happy to come to you — whether that's your office or your home. There's no need to lose time travelling, and the subject matter connects even more directly to your work environment. For companies that want to train multiple employees at the same time, on-site lessons are an especially practical choice.
Would you prefer a neutral environment, or does your company not have a suitable teaching space? Then you are also welcome at our training centre in Capelle aan den IJssel — centrally located and easily accessible from Rotterdam and the surrounding area. Please note that on-site lessons do require the lesson space to be equipped with certain basic facilities. We are happy to inform you about this when you submit your enquiry.
