Crescendo CVO

“I can already read and write fluently, and I just try to keep speaking, even if it goes a bit slower sometimes. All my colleagues support and help me, both with the language and with the work.” 

"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."

"The lessons are quite intensive: often, at the end of the morning session, we have to review our notes to reconstruct what we started three hours earlier. It can be a bit shocking to see how much material has been covered. Yet, few students drop out."

"The atmosphere in the classes is really great. The learners come from different countries, and by learning together, we also became friends. The teachers are true professionals and are truly committed to helping us."

“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.”

The lessons were interactive and fun, with games, dialogues, and role-plays. The teacher was fantastic.

"The teachers are very supportive and extremely patient. They constantly correct us and revisit topics we struggle with."

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

"After two years, she will have a diploma as a care assistant and speak Dutch fluently."
