Crescendo CVO

“If you enjoy working with children or older people and you want to work with your heart, this is the perfect direction. You can even start in the middle of the year, just like I did.”

"Although I can follow the NT2 course well, learning Dutch is quite difficult. In Ukrainian, we don’t have articles. Making sentences in Dutch is really complicated. The lessons are very useful because I am learning Dutch specifically for technical professions. That will help me find a great job in the future."

"I felt that I was not alone. The teachers took the time and looked for solutions with me. I was given an extra semester to complete the programme."

"I feel much prouder. Now I follow all my lessons in Dutch, and I’m really happy about that!"

"Online lessons are pleasant and convenient for those with little time. The lessons run smoothly. They are basic courses, but I feel that I am learning, which is enjoyable. The breakout sessions offer the chance to collaborate with fellow students."

"My dream is to get my diploma and work in a care home. The fact that we also learn Dutch in this programme is an extra motivation for me."

"My advice? Start learning Dutch as soon as possible. I waited a year and now I regret it; maybe I would be a year further along."

"I enjoy interacting with people from very diverse backgrounds and cultures, and I like helping whenever I am called upon. It also gives me a lot of satisfaction."

"We have a great group! I already signed up for module B because I really enjoy it."
